DescriptionThree copies of a broadcast delivered on behalf of the United Hospitals by Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury have been preserved amongst Taylor Cadbury's public addresses. It is possible that this address was delivered by Taylor Cadbury for a wireless broadcast entitled 'The Week's Good Cause' on a Sunday evening following the Second World War. The first copy of this address features annotations suggesting that it was a working typescript. The second titled copy of the address appears to be a neat copy produced as a script for the broadcast.
