Summary
Concerning the health of his wife Alys; writing that she is now recovering but that she has had a difficult few months: "She started ailing in the middle of the summer, and by the end of July was so unwell, that she went up to an institution in N. Wales where they make a speciality of internal troubles: after a long Xray examination, they diagnosed a small ulcer (she does not know, & won't be told); six weeks in bed, a starvation diet, of oil principally, has done her worlds of good, & tho' she is still more or less a convalescent; if she is careful in her diet for 2 or 3 months, I am hopeful she will be cured."
