Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for his letter. Hopes Beaton will do well. Knew he would be 'horrified' by Lady G's death. Has lost several friends this winter. London is 'waiting in anguish to know what turn events will take'. Discusses how London waits. The General election 'looming in the distance is a disturbing thought'. Has had an exhausting time, but it has been 'more than pleasant'. Is looking forward to escaping in the spring. Is spending Christmas where she is now as the children are coming back for the holidays.
