the sad intelligence of the awful accident
seems so saddened that it seems impossi-
bic for me to meet either of you in pei

l shall never forget your kindness and
thoughtfulness in wishing to keep it from
me, feeling that in your desire you re-
membered the saying, that grief prey:
upon the health with wolf like ferocity
and anxiety wears the frame like Mar
