ALS to Lyn Newman

Covers Lyn's illness, and John's work on Charles II and his girlfriends. Suggests Lyn subscribe to the International Press Cutting Bureau, Fleet Street. Advice about Arnold Bennett's sister who is unable to support herself after his death. Suggests asking Leonard and Virginia Woolf to pass the matter on to Hugh Walpole, or contacting Lord Beaverbrook at the Evening Standard. Doubts whether Civil List would include the sister because there is already a widow and Dorothy Bennett. Ends with a picture of Lyn being hauled up the stairs in a pram.
