Geral/conversas/saudações/cartas
There is a minister in your family, an uncle, in the spirit. He died some little time ago—away from you, across the water. He died suddenly.
Mr. Gale had an uncle, his father’s brother, who was a Baptist missionary in Minnesota. The description of him is accurate. He died suddenly 15 years ago while travelling in Palestine. He never wore a cape at home, but had one made before leaving for his trip to Palestine, to wear on his overcoat.

Selected
no outro lado do (oceano) Atlântico
This is a common expression which normally refers to the Atlantic ocean (as apparently in this case), though in certain regional situations could refer to other waters. For example, in Ireland "across the water" often refers to the island of Great Britain, which is a common destination for Irish emigrants.
