Letter from Ivor Miles Windsor-Clive, 2nd Earl of Plymouth to Alice Southwell Pettigrew, 31st July 1928

15, Hyde Park Gardens
W2 [London]

31st July. 28.

Dear Mrs Pettigrew,

I was not greatly surprised to get your letter for Lady Plymouth told me that when she was down at St Fagan's last, Pettigrew did not seem at all well.

I am sure you will have realised that I have been greatly worried about Pettigrew's health for some time past and after what you have told me not only do I not object to his going away for August but I insist that he should do so. In the circumstances it is absolutely essential that he should have a complete change and rest and I greatly hope that this holiday

will do him a lot of good. But I am most anxious that he should take his health in hand before it is too late. He must not worry at all about going away in August for although I shall miss him greatly, we shall manage somehow to get on quite alright without him.

Yours sincerely,

Plymouth
