REPORTS

1. 7/12/38 Mrs. [1010]'s letter: "...The boy's parents took him to Johns Hopkins last week. They examined him - x-rayed him also and told his people to take him back home, take care of him and do their best for him as his case was hopeless. They found a tumor on the brain and could not operate. He seemed to have improved some, seems a little better at times, then goes back into the same old sickness - it's pitiful. I followed the suggestions but it was too late. I think he was injured at birth from things they told me. I have noticed when the body is incurable, death is not so far away. In the reading, they never say death is near or that it is hopeless, do they?..."
