Typed letter from Frederick Lanchester to Robert Lockhart asking how he is after his duodenal problems

Mentions how the first signs of him suffering from Parkinson's Disease was when he lost sensation in his right hand. Suddenly on the 8th December [1944] he could not stand up and thought he had suffered a stroke, but his doctor told him that his right leg and side were effected by Parkinson's condition ('the first time I had heard of that blackguard'). The letter continues with handwritten notes by Lanchester's wife Dorothy. An operation on the cataract in her husband's eye cannot be performed because of his poor health.
