Wm to H'ry, March 7, 1892. Age: 50

Wm takes a forward-lookingly pragmatic approach to death:

"Poor little Alice!  What a life!  I can't believe that the imperious will and piercing judgment are snuffed out with the breath....In her relations to her disease, her mind did not succumb.  She never whined or complained or did anything but spurn it.  She thus kept it from invading the tone of her soul."

Alice, early in life
