Scope and content
Hedenham Lodge, Bungay, Suffolk. - Bessie must be anxious - hopes she has better news soon. Donald 'quite well physically, but does not want to do anything': difficult to know what to do. Is looking for 'a young woman to drive... and do odd jobs for me' since the current girl is ill and will leave as soon as she can. Will also be looking for a nurse in about January, as their nurse is Australian and wants to go home; has lost the address of the person Bessie mentioned [Jean Monks?] when the Toveys were in the Westminster [Hospital]. They sometimes talk of going to Edinburgh just after Christmas, but she doesn't think they can get there. Donald 'sways all over the place when he is walking': she thinks they should stay in Suffolk.
