darling son for the last time on this

1T is a strange feeling to know that
1T is the last time. Something in your
soul seems to cry out. How wonderful
that last kiss is! What coward | feel

at is far better to die at once than
face a lingering death in an insane
hospital, for | know | am crazy I find
myself in the most unknown places to

earthly things.

be known that | am the cause of their
DOWNFALL
"All this comes to my mind as I am
waiting to jump.
People are passing far below: I
don't want to fall on any one. I am
head ache. Yet am not nervous.
Il started to jump a few seconds
ago, but a vision of my dear dead
mother came before me just as plain
as day.
"'Say your last prayers-the one I
gave you years ago.
Prays for Wife and Boy
Il have prayed and am praying now.
| pray God to keep my wife, who is
the finest woman on earth. Ny boy is

them both from want, sorrow and dark
ness. Oh, God, how l love them!
My wife will give any one who is
interested the most amazing history

mented brain.
