Scope and content
It is "infuriatingly bad luck" for Beaton to get mumps. Hopes he has some fuel for his heating. Reminisces about reading Henry James. Found something in California which she hoped to put in Beaton's Christmas stocking. However in the hurry of catching the last plane home before the strike began it got left behind. He may get it for Easter! Many of Beaton's friends will miss him at their Christmas festivities. Normally rereads any letter she writes to see how many words she cannot read herself.
