Scope and content

Garden Corner, West Road, Cambridge. - Wonders how Bessie's 'poor eyes are now'; asks if it is cataracts, and whether an operation could help. She has been troubled by her 'stupid old eczema', and plans to consult a doctor in Lausanne before Christmas then go on to Italy with Dorothy, perhaps for a month as she has been told to take a long rest. Is therefore working to get the contract for 'this last piece of the Foundling Site [Coram's Fields]' settled before she goes, which is a complicated task. A doctor in London is starting to do her good; will be 'very cross' if he gets her so well that she does not need to go to Lausanne; rather wants to see the Swiss methods, which she is sure are 'far more scientific than ours'. Humphry now teaching German at Yale and 'blissfully happy'; hopes Bessie's 'young pair' [Julian and his wife Ursula] are happy too.
