SIR: A few weeks ago, during a visit to some good, old friends living in Bolton, I heard from them that the B.R.I. was about to be destroyed.
The information was, for me, very sad news for the following reason. Forty years ago, I worked in the B.R.I. as a male student nurse for two years (1954-1955). I saw for the last time the old hospital where so many of my English souvenirs of youth, work, joy, sadness, love ... are going to buried for ever.
