I have written two or three letters meantime to you & repeatedly to the other members of the family; Molllie only has I believe written me in the course of the last year. Mother De Witt died while Grace was east. she had been confined to her bed about two months & suffered much without any apparent disease except the general decay & failure of vital power & strength ; she coughed & raised constantly to the last was not very weak being able to be raised up on bed only a few minutes before she ceased to breathe' she said from the first that she should not get up again was willing & ready to go & died at last very easy: I believe I wrote you about her visiting us in my last; she enjoyed that visit much, spoke of it two or three times after she was taken sick a short time after. The Doctor's five sisters ( all, with himself the surviving members of the family with their husbands & some of their children, dined with us on the day of the funeral; Nancy has been failing in health.
