My dear Morgan,
I am laid up with a duodenal ulcer which I am trying to get healed. I have had nearly a month in bed but was allowed up for a little for the first time yesterday, and I think the thing is doing all right, although no one can really tell until it is X-Rayed in about a fortnight or so's time. In any case I shall have to go slow and do much less for some months, and that will mean that I cannot come to the meetings of the Spanish Medical Aid Committee. Accordingly I must ask you to accept my resignation as Vice-chairman, and I think I ought to resign my membership of the Committee as well, but I am ready to do as you please about this. If you think it desirable for me to remain a member, I am of course ready to do so, at any rate for the present. I do not know how things are going on at the moment, and if you would rather I remained a member, so let it be, but I must certainly resign my Vice-chairmanship. May I say in conclusion how much I have appreciated the very fine work that you have been putting in, which has meant I know, a vast amount of time and energy from you.
Yours very sincerely,
pp. Somerville Hastings
