Dear Cousin,
I have sad news to tell you- Mother is very ill and sinking rapidly. We do not expect her to live
though the day. She has been unconscious since Wednesday. I got here last night but she does
not know me or anyone else. She has a tumor which is pressing against her liver and she suffers
agonize [[?]] when [[?]] the difference morphine.
I will write no more now- I'll send Love-Affectionately
