Excerpts from a letter from Mrs P. to Elizabeth Daub Brey. “My youngest son went with us that time and got work on Dr. Charley Mayo's farm. We stayed in town until Feb. 14th [1920] when we went out to the farm. Stayed there until Apr. 27th when the Dr. told us they could do no more and we best come home before he got too weak…. His Dr. out there was all that he could be. He told Delwin that his father was the best patient he ever had. Said he never saw a patient with such a cancer in such a place that had the courage and grit he had. The Dr. went to the train to bid him good bye. We considered that a good deal for such a busy man as he was. The day before we came home Mrs. Dr. Charley [Mayo] came in to see us. She was so nice you would think she was one of us.”
