sep 20, 1893 - Dr. Seward writes about how he is despondent and depressed.

Description:

Lucy's condition is worsening. Arthur, Dr. Seward, and Van Helsing take turns looking over her. Lucy died. Arrangements are made for Lucy and her mother to be buried at the same time.

Van Helsing takes garlic and places it all around the room and around Lucy's coffin, and then he takes a small gold crucifix and places it over Lucy's mouth. He makes a peculiar request to Seward. He wants Seward to help him cut off Lucy's head, take out her heart, and stuff her mouth with garlic.
