Scope and content

Was delighted to hear from Beaton and looks forward to seeing him. Would like to hear about his experiences in America. Wonders if he is going to design any materials. Has motored 2200 miles across Morocco and 'adored every moment of it'. Feels that travelling suits her. Spent an amusing week in Madrid. Finds it difficult to settle into ordinary life after so much travel. Has been asked to stay in Paris indefinitely, but is unable to. Will return to France in the late summer and stay with various friends. Hopes to get some rest in London. Adores Lady Wilson's book, "The house of memories". Is also reading a lot of French books. Has heard that Viva King's costumes are very successful. Hopes that Beaton's brother is enjoying himself.
