Scope and content
Postmarked London W.1; sent to Elizabeth at the Shiffolds. - Thanks 'dear Bessie' for the 'sweet flowers and still sweeter notes', which all came when they were 'much needed'. Is now ''"doing well", though that still entails doing nothing'; the nurses have been nice but 'the upper command must really be bloodier than normal'. Thinks Bob [Buckingham] is keeping her informed' asks if she could 'write him a line sometime', which he thinks would be appreciated. His mother and Bob have had 'much to do'.
Feels 'more like reading' now, and 'perhaps shall extricate Emma from Mr Elton tomorrow - no great difficulty in view of her energetic cooperation'.

Note
Postmarked 9 Mar 1936, but dated 'Sunday' so probably written the day before it was posted.
