| Description | In this letter George Newman thanks Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury for the chocolates which she had sent to him at Christmas writing that his wife had suggested 'it is the very best Xmas box we have ever had'. Newman makes a number of amusing remarks about the chocolates and comments about a visit to Woodbrooke.
Newman remarks that his work as Medical Officer of Health to the Borough of Finsbury and 'always seeing the pathological side of life' was making him feel 'very old'. He comments on his mother's health and enquires after Elizabeth's family writing 'there is, as it seems to me, such a world of despair & suffering around us. I have never felt it so strongly myself'. |
