| Description | George Newman begins this letter with an amusing comment on the 'disparity in age' between himself and Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury. He thanks Taylor Cadbury for her hospitality during his recent stay at the Manor House. Newman remarks on delivering a paper about Taylor Cadbury's late husband George Cadbury suggesting that his visit to the Manor House had been made in order to attend a Cadbury family event. Newman comments that Taylor Cadbury's large family was a 'richly-deserved reward' for her. Newman remarks on his ill health, revealing that he had suffered an attack of vertigo whilst staying with Taylor Cadbury and her family, describing the attack as 'the signal of my physical frailty'. Newman remarks how his vertigo had affected the delivery of his paper, suggesting 'I daresay it is the last time I shall speak in public'. He writes about his profound belief in 'the efficacy of prayer' and includes an extract taken from his paper about George Cadbury that he had been unable to include owing to feeling unwell. |
