Dear Geoff
Re: Your patient known as Mr W
Thank you for your letter of 29/5/43 referring to the above patient. I have now had a quick look at the notes you sent over. At the moment I haven’t any original insights to offer, though I agree it is an interesting case. There is just one small thought which may be significant. You have noted the patient’s fear of cats. Unless I am mistaken this is not exactly accurate. Mr W’s fears are, I believe on the evidence of your notes, focused on one cat in particular. Mr W fears not cats, but a specific animal. I will be in touch if I have any more thoughts.
Best wishes
Yours sincerely
Bill
