    Writing a novelette makes perfect sense in the context of the last sentence. “Perhaps after my writing to end, I to give you to read.”

    I wonder if they have any helpful information to offer. The cottage hospital description on their website says "An extension of the Hospital was carried out in 1932. It included the extension of the public wards, two for private patients, an additional nurse’s room, an operating theatre".

    My husband knows the hospital as he was blue lighted to that hospital in the late 1970s when he was diagnosed with meningitis.

    Did he notice any blue plaques on the wall saying something like "famous Polish author stayed here 1941. Known for his novelettes and impatience with pen pals."?

    Not that he's aware of  :D - to be fair blue plaques weren't his top priority. Still he did learn that it wasn't wise to accept a cup of tea from a garage workshop where mug hygiene wasn't their speciality.
