Scope and Contents
"Came from R.H. where she had been for about 3 months during which time she has been gradually deteriorating in mentality and habits. Acts of violence have been becoming more frequent and she has a habit of throwing things at anyone near her without provocation e.g. throwing a cup of tea over newly born baby. Her language is obscene and objectionable. Her conversation is incoherent at times and at other times she can give a fairly good account of herself. Nurse confirms: This woman has two sons, one died leaving a little girl, the other had a defective child who died."
