Abstract:
A child's account of a father's physical, verbal, and emotional abuse. Notes their mother's illness and the child's efforts to get medical attention, despite his father's opposition. Dr. Mary Dunning provided services and a prescription (despite unpaid medical bills), which the child paid for with personal money. Describes the father's abuse of the mother, withholding food, and trying to get the children's money. The mother accidently ingested "the poison medicine We used for the Babys eye that had an ulser in, caused by a filthy disease that Pa brought to the Baby." Father threatens to kill the child. [NB: A previous cataloger attributed this manuscript to Darwin W. Esmond.]
