We have for sale a great looking copy of the rare and hard to find, “Troubled Asylum”. This first edition white cover book has the late author’s signature inside the cover and also comes with a short history letter written by Dr. R. V. Parton, Psychiatrist Superintendent dated August, 1978. The letter was created to assist the Author with Historical Notes, Present Day Statistics and Objectives and Functions for the book. The letter was gifted to the local Anglican Parish Priest at New Norfolk as a thank you for his assistance.

Condition of the book is very good, no loose or missing pages, the cover has a small 1/2 cm pen mark on the front cover and some light discolouration on the back cover which would be age related. The letter is missing the staple and is clean and readable. Printed on yellow paper.
