Poor soul. Why did her dd commit her? The reason I ask is that so many were committed, that should not have been.

I don't know. If my mother and aunt ever talked about it they never did in front of me. I knew Molly and went to see her at her SF house many times, but she never mentioned her daughter Virginia.
