DL/A-Z//WHITEH M/001 [from Marion Whitehorn, wife to John Whitehorn, to Doris Lessing, 30/06/2003]

Letter, 1 leaf, handwritten.
Writes of the death of John Whitehorn after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Reveals that the “cruel disease” was a “blessing” for him as he was unaware of the extent of his illness. She writes that she has found all of Lessing’s letters to John and will send them back to her. [The letters, however, were not sent, and instead came to UEA].
