CHEHALIS, WASH, Nov. 16
R.-A fiaxen-haired little girl,
her body wasted by cancer,
died at her home today, sur
rounded by a mountain of mail
sent from all parts of the world
to ease her loneliness.
Six-year-old Jeanice Gratias,
once so lonely she wrote letters
to herself, found happiness in
the final weeks of her life
through the kindness of peo-
pie touched by her plight.
She had been i'll only since
midsummer. An operation re-
vealed she had incurable
cancer.
Forced to remain home, she
fretted over being unable to
start school. This had been
her dream. Time passed slowly
on the small, rural mink farm
where she lived with her par
ents and 8-year-old brother.
Finally, she began writing
letters to herself and having
her father mail them.

letters, get-well cards and pres

Bright-eyed despite her ill
ness, Jeanice read every card
and letter. There was no more
time for loneliness. Passers-by,
many from distant places, Of
ten stopped to greet and cheer
the little girl.
About 10 days ago, Jeanice
was stricken with influenza
that ravaged her slender body
and caused her to fail rapidly.
She became semiconscious early
