Scope and content
Comments on her lovely letter. 'I like you live in an emporium which I fill with charming memories.'
Envies Paulette's resistance, never getting any older. 'She must have a wealth of dignity as well as $3,000,000 worth of paintings to sell!'
Tragedy of Natascha's state. Just had David Herbert visit from Tangier; is now looking after Michael Duff who is near the end of a terrible cancer.
Excuse rotten writing. No news 'except War, threats of strikes and the sort of news that send[s] one off the rocker. I haven't been to London for nearly two months, and that is the best I have to offer you!'
Snow has turned to pouring rain. Half of the country is wind swept.
