'Paylinic wrote to me several
times, but couldn't help ut the time.
Then came letter from him with the
news that my sister had disappeared
He was trying hard to find her and
suffered very much as he loved his
wife most dearly. After long time he
wrote me together with my sister n
most happy letter snying that after ali
he had found her. The letters from
this time until the last letter of my
sister lend OF March, shows that
Julius Pavllnfc was always very good
to her and that they were happy, but
there was Il terrible fear in the mind
of my sister that she would come
again in the asylum. She wrote that
she would never have t.lis again and
that she would prefer 10 be dead. AL
together it seemed as If death was
more desirable to her as she could

was convinced that her Julius loved
her as dearly as III former days she

how hard he tried to get her out of
the asylum. Now comes the sad news
that my poor sister has ended with
her sufferings.

that she had everything she wanted.
