[Vwoolf] Sounds familiar

[Stuart N. Clarke]

“During a family visit to New York in 1899, Kipling, Josephine, and Elsie fell ill, and as both father and daughters' illness advanced to pneumonia, Josephine was removed from the hotel where her father and sister were and accommodated in the home of family friend, Julie De Forest, where her condition rapidly worsened. The family physician was summoned from Vermont to take charge of Josephine. He ministered to her for almost two weeks before she succumbed to the illness. Her father was not told of her passing for weeks due to fears the loss of his beloved child might cause a relapse.”
