Dr. Middlemore died suddenly on November 15, 1938, the day of her return from a convalescence in the country. She had long suffered from ill-health and this prevented her from playing the active part in psycho-analytical work that would have been commensurate with her talents. In a quiet way she was a valued contributor to the work of the British Society. The charm of her personality, however, and the high merit of her intelligence were fully revealed only to a small circle to whom she greatly endeared herself. She had of late devoted herself with great interest to making a specially direct study of the subtleties of breast feeding and had developed here a remarkable technique for dealing with mothers, nurses and infants in the way that would yield the least disturbing results. Some of her observations were reported in a paper read before the British Society on November 3, 1937. It is hoped that an amplified record of them will shortly appear in book form.
