The Hilaire Belloc - Elizabeth Belloc correspondence, 1934-1944 (bulk 1938-1942).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/71204985

This collection contains the correspondence of Hilaire Belloc to his daughter Elizabeth over the years 1934-1944. Hilaire was 62 at the start of this correspondence and entering the final stages of his career. He was plagued increasingly with ill-health over the course of this correspondence, and there is frequent reference to his suffering from flu, fatigue, and difficulty with his handwriting. In 1942 he suffered a stroke from which he would never completely recover. In his correspondence, the effects of the stroke can be detected in the unsteadiness of his handwriting and in the less lucid expression of his thought.
