Herbert also writes that they had a nice letter from David [Pendlebury] and hoped to see him at Abberley [school] next month; that they had not seen Joan [Pendlebury]; that he had been re-elected as Chairman of the Library Committee; and that Robin [Herbert’s step-son] was to go before a medical board in a military hospital in Hereford. |
