Scope and Contents

"This is a peculiar sort of man, hasn't worked since 1920, always has something wrong with him - if he hasn't a sore back he has a sore head. He spends most of the day standing at the door looking out, but never goes out. Will talk to people at the door. [Male informant] thinks he is OK but lazy. Dr confirms that this man should be in the CR, is senile, swears and gets violent, wife hysterical with fear."
