Letter from Sarah Henrietta Kay to her sister Eleanor Anne Porden, on the death of D. Kay
Date
May 1821
Description
They were summoned at about 4 o'clock to D. Kay, who was extremely ill , by his physician; his lawyer was sent for too and another physician; they have been watching by him since 5 o'clock, as all hope is over and he is dying. He has died since she left off; Margarte got there just before; John and Robert are sent for; it is like a dream; Joseph is sadly overcome and Margaret frantic.
