Dear Sally

My advice would be to write again or to ring Barbara Slaney, the manager at
the hall - details on the website. E-mails, like letters, can go astray or
fall back among priorities.

I see that the ERO has a postcard of the hall. You may not want it, as there
are pics on the WMH website, but , if you do, the ERO will send you a copy.
Here's the online reference:

Re the hospital. The following site, a collaboration between TNA and the
Wellcome Library, may give you some leads:

Good luck,
