Page "George Orwell" Paragraph 57
from
Wikipedia
There were thoughts of going to India to work on the Pioneer, a newspaper in Lucknow, but by March 1938 Orwell's health had deteriorated.
He was admitted to Preston Hall Sanatorium at Aylesford, Kent, a British Legion hospital for ex-servicemen to which his brother-in-law Laurence O ' Shaughnessy was attached.
He was thought initially to be suffering from tuberculosis and stayed in the sanatorium until September.
Connolly brought with him Stephen Spender, a cause of some embarrassment as Orwell had referred to Spender as a " pansy friend " some time earlier.
In the latter part of his stay at the clinic Orwell was able to go for walks in the countryside and study nature.
