Summary
Apologizing for leaving him and Mrs. O'Casey and explaining that she "...sat up all Sunday & Mon. night with that beloved little boy - but he passed on & out at 3.30 Tues evening - It just makes me long to know what St. Paul calls the Life of the Spirit of Christ Jesus which frees [illegible] of sin & death. I know a little about it but not half enough - Its the only thing worth knowing - or that can help...I am here with a fine Christian Science friend...The Shaws are well & happy at Malvern."
