A letter from a cousin of Mary Grein, to another cousin, concerning a suicide attempt by Mary in 1883, by PURSSIC ACID... Wanna guess WHO bought it for her, because she had no "set" address?

It reads in part... "mary will be better. she is better to get out. he knew she wanted out so he helped her because shee had no set address. do you trust him. maybe in time. I will talk to her. she never ask for this. why pursaic acid when better to leave. I nevr trusted the borden uncle much. why did he get it."

Franz, where are you?

PMs welcomed.

Was Mary not working at the Borden's by then since she had no set address? Do we know when she left their employ?

Yes, Calling Franz, calling Franz!! You must PM BOBO!!

The Uncle referred to here is NOT Uncle John Morse. The Grein family says that it was a Uncle that Mary Grein referred to as "Uncle Warren". Yes, the good Dr.

I will tell Franz to pop by via Facebook...

Thank you Anthony. It will be good to get Franz's (and other posters who perhaps haven't popped in for a while) perspective on the latest developments.

I'm here again (sorta) and trying to play catch-up. There is several interesting things posted that I must simply read... be back later. I just found out about the prussic acid and suicide this morning.
