Autograph Letter Signed with initials to Barbara Muir
thanking her for her letter and the New Yorkers... I have been here a month and though I can't say I like hospital I have been able to read and correct the paged proofs of my novel which went back to Victor Gollancz on Wednesday... luckily a friend, R. L. Watson was with me when I had the stroke... he came here in the ambulance with me. I suppose even if one does not drink or lead a wanton life, either with a wife or a mistress, there is a price to be paid for intellectual concentration and certainly I seem to be paying it ..., I side lettercard with autograph address on the verso, Whittington Hospital, 12th July
