Correspondence between Cicely Saunders and US author Sandol Stoddard Warburg (1927-2018), chiefly concerning the research and drafting of Warburg's book, The hospice movement: a better way of caring for the dying (Stein and Day, 1978), for which Warburg undertook voluntary work at St Christopher's Hospice.
