I am sorry to have been so long in returning your diary but will do so very soon. Dr. Fletcher did use a bit out of it. The description of the eye (cataract) operation.

The book is now finished, except my chapter - Have not been too well and am out of circulation for a short time but nothing basically wrong - just pushing myself too hard!

Hope all goes well with all of you -

[HANDWRITTEN MESSAGE]

One of the loveliest of primulas which you must have
come across in E. Bhutan through possibly not in flower.
Betty Sherriff grows it to perfection in Scotland!
Trust you and the family are well.

A black and white photograph, mounted on thick board with a metal hood fixed to the top (to hang like an ornament?) and a handwritten message on the back.

Not signed but the message is in Frank Ludlow's handwriting.

The photograph is in black and white and features a yak and a small Tibetan child. Presumably taken by Ludlow in 1936.
