The entry reads:

11.8.16 Is much better now + in fair health.

"+ in ..." is just and abbreviation for "and in ...".

Use of '+' for "and" used to be commonplace. Its use is now discouraged or banned in medical practice almost everywhere (along with many other terms which used to be commonly used - such as 'dram', to give another example)

  • Thank you. For clarity I have simply transcribed it as "and in".
