Abstract
1940-1942. Correspondence from patients and caregivers highlights the difficulties of travelling to metropolitan hospitals for cancer treatment during the Second World War. The letters and almoner responses reveal early awareness of supportive care, welfare needs, and transport barriers, marking a formative stage in recognising patient-centred approaches to treatment and the emerging role of social work in cancer care. Keywords: public correspondence; patient welfare; supportive care; treatment; almoner; cancer information
