Tele: Maida Vale 1384. 4, Aberdare Gardens, Hampstead, LONDON, N.W.6. 14th September, 1938. Sir Thomas J. Carey Evans, Medical Superintendent, Hammersmith Hospital, Ducane Road, SHEPHERD'S BUSH, W.12. Dear Sir Thomas, Miss Penelope Phelps. I am sending you back herewith all the Notes you so kindly lent me with regard to Miss Penelope Phelps. The X-rays never came into my possession, though I understand you sent them with the Notes in charge of someone who accompanied Miss Penelope Phelps from your Hospital to that of St. Johns and St. Elizabeth. When I arrived at the hospital only the Notes were there and I have never got hold of the x-rays. I shall try to find out what has happened to them. You will be interested to know the sequel. On my holidays I got Dr. Jewells, one of the Medical Officers at the Middlesex County Hospitals at Park Royal to visit Miss Phelps. He took her into his own hospital as he recognised her as an old nurse probationer. At the hospital she was recognised as a nurse probationer who had been there some years previously, even though she herself denied that she was the individual in question, and claimed that it was her cousin. Because of the strict hand which Dr. Jewells maintained over her she left his hospital in a few days, and she then went to Hastings for convalescence. I am afraid the further sequel will have to be told you orally and in private. But it is a most interesting case in my view with a markedly functional background. I could never understand how she developed her cyanosis, but I think there is an explanation of that, from the point of view of probable self-medication. Yours sincerely, Notes.
