Hi Judith,
The word that starts with R is actuallly Rödsot, meaning dysentery. (The Swedish Word List on the Wiki is very useful for things like that 😃 I will provide a link below)
Otherwise, I cannot find a place in the record where it lists a village or farm. However, the first word after 14 is Sold., which is an abbreviation for Soldat, or soldier. There are a couple Soldattorps listed in the Wiki in the Place Names section for Vallsjö, so that may possibly be a lead, but no guarantees. Otherwise, I don't see any information about a village or farm.

"döde af Rödsot" I believe means they died of dysentery (often cholera, but sometimes referring to measles).
Knowing the father was a soldier, looking for "soldattorp" (soldier arms) in the Household Examination register (Vallsjö (F) AI:4 (1801-1813) Arkiv Digital Image 4) revealed four possibilities. The family of soldier Sven Kax is found on page 257 including the 4 children who died within 6 days of each other
