NW6 Mar 31 1919 Dear Miss Hall, Referring to our conversation today re Mr J Hannon late editor of map, I have just heard from his sister who thinks it wiser to wait till I hear from her again, as the doctor says that a growth is forming at the back of his eyes & this evidently means cataract possibly blindness. Yours faithfully Louis Wain |
