Scope and content

This will be the last letter he dates from 18 Langham Street. Remarks on how long it seems since his operation, and states that in those thirty-three days, he has been 'entirely free from pain and fairly free from discomfort, and full of kindness of friends and acquaintances.' Announces that he goes that day to the Cliftonville Hotel in Margate, where Nora is already, and that they shall probably spend the fortnight of their stay there. Invites Myers to visit them. Declares that his future is still uncertain, but states that his doctor and nurses continue to assure him that he has been convalescing well. Hopes that all is well with Myers and his family. Refers to his need for courage at this time.
