"This old lady lives alone, is very eccentric, keeps about 30 cats, several of whom share her bed, never cleans her house or washes herself. She cannot manage her money of her rations properly but sends messages by each bus for tit-bits for the cats. She used to be alcoholic; may now take chlorodine; is usually peculiar but sometimes more so than others. Kind-hearted but has a terrible temper. Very proud. She is supposed to come of a good family, was educated in Paris and is a cultured woman. Two brothers, one wild and alcoholic. They want to put her in an institution but she will not go voluntarily and is hardly certifiable. Has OAP supplemented by money from a trustee. Home conditions: Could not be more filthy. Lives alone, no family life. Has always been eccentric but has been definitely queer for last 10 years. Frequently visited by the NSPCA."
