Additional Description

Container Summary

Contains 22 pages of autograph notes made by DJ about his sessions with Dr. Crichton Miller, one of the psychologists treating him at Bowden House, a nursing home at Harrow-on-the-Hill, after his nervous breakdown in 1946. Includes 2 autograph copies by DJ of a statement by Dr. James C. Woods written 11/20/1941 disqualifying him from military service. @ A typed note by HG accompanies the file: "These notes are not yet suitable for inspection by the general public though they contain material which will be of considerable biographical importance; and the passages about painting are of great interest...But in ten or fifteen years the same sensitivities will probably not apply and the notes should then take their place among David's other papers as part of the archive..." dated 1/27/76. @ For further information on the Bowden House period, see pp.131-141 in "Dai Greatcoat..." by Rene Hague.
