About three months \r\nago her ankle inflamed her sprained ankle. The inflamation settled \r\nin her hip which gave her the most excruiating pain until her death, \r\nwhich was over two months. She craved death to deliver her from pains \r\nthat she might go home to her Jesus who she prayed to be with, and \r\ninvited all to love him and ask everyone if they did love Jesus.\r\nDavid's wife was a good nurs. She praised her for her kindness to her. \r\nThey were living with us and are yit. I know not what I am to do. \r\nThe next years I did want him to improve my old place for himself.\r\n\r\nJames is living at the Rainey Place. They are well.
