Scope and content
Her note 'spread notes of joy among the churning of worst things.' Has had very worrying, wearying life, but still it engages him in high-flown fancies which make life worthwhile. Went by car to London; meal with the Queen Mother. Praises her (and the meal); came away covered in glory.
Otherwise life has been rather sad. 'The news from the top sounds awful-- but what is to be done? Nothing, it seems.' Saw lovely play on Mozart which is packing full houses; mightily pleased by Paul Scofield.
Includes Gladys in his greeting.
