Case 2

informed me that he had saved about £100. At present he is receiving 16/6 from the National Health Insurance and 12/- from a club and that is the total of his weekly receipts. Of course this will not go very far, and as his wife is not normal this makes things more difficult and I fear that she will be able to put the money to its best advantage.

The Doctor says that he will not be able to do any of his old work any more so I am afraid that we cannot do anything for him in that way. He seems to require careful nursing and from what I have seen and heard, his wife is not able to do this. I have been told that he has to do all the buying and arranging the affairs of his Home. He told me that he has been under the Doctor for some four months but at last had to give up.

About four years ago J. spoke to me about his work, and said that he found it difficult to work in the office of Messrs. Butler & Tanner. I made inquiries and persuaded the Firm to let him do his work at Home, which they did. From that time his health improved but I am afraid that the breaking-up point has come at last.

I hope that I have made his case quite clear and that you perhaps, will see some way to some way to augment his income or else suggest some advantage to him. I shall only be too pleased to see your arrangements carried out.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours sincerely,

J. Frost. [P.G.O.]
