17 Dec 1859 1/4 past one - The same, my dearest wrote this morning: sinking, but fighting for every inch of life - have just gone = it may |
may happen in a moment; it may go on for 24 hours. No suffering, & I think, now, no chance of any. I have not seen her. She is at times quite concious = but seems |
|
dozing, tho[ugh]' we don't think she is. It was very kind of you, my dearest, to remember our wants. Ralph had not forgotten us, but we all agree your sandwiches are the only
|
only food for sorrow. May Paget bring aid to you, my darling! Y[ou]r affec[tionate]: D. |
