6th March 1871. Letter from Mrs. Sullivan, mother of Mary Leslie (Mrs. Downing) to say that the latter had died of consumption, poor girl, on Saturday morning and asking me to come down and see her as she had expressed a wish I should.
To St. Thomas Street, Commercial Road, in reference to Mary Downing's dying request. A change had come over the poor girl, but she still looked beautiful as she lay still on her deathbed with a rosary on her bosom. Her mother and her sister and her husband and another man in the room. The mother much affected said that her daughter had always spoken in terms of great gratitude and esteem of me. She had been married 6 months.
