Scope and content

88 New Street, Torrington. - Likes Bob's new book of poetry; they 'seem to come so sincerely from the inner man'. Has just returned from a fortnight in St Bartholomew's hospital, where he had his appendix removed and a hernia dealt with; has been troubled by his appendix for 'years'. Finds himself 'most annoyingly weak... What a business this growing old is'. Hopes his mind has 'remained young', but he is 'nearly edentate' and needs spectacles. They are now in their new home in Torringtonm which is their first town house for a long time; it is something to have the 'compensations' of electric light and gas.
