Autograph Letter Signed with initials to Barbara Muir thanking her for her letter and the "New Yorkers ... I have been here a month and though I can't say I like hospital I have been able to read and correct the paged proofs of my novel which went back to Victor Gollancz on Wednesday ... luckily a friend, R. L. Watson was with me when I had the stroke ... he came here in the ambulance with me. I suppose even if one does not drink or lead a wanton life, either with a wife or a mistress, there is a price to be paid for intellectual concentration and certainly I seem to be paying it ...", I side lettercard with autograph address on the verso, Whittington Hospital, 12th July
