Scope and content
Has written many letters to Beaton in her mind lately. The increasing onset of her arthritis depends on the weather. Wishes she had his will power and could learn to write with her left hand. Met an old friend in the canteen at the studios who had lunch with Beaton yesterday. The canteen is "superior" as "one can actually enjoy one's food!" Is glad that she can wear her own hair in the play. Reminisces about previous roles. Discusses King Edward's funeral which occurred when she was just over twenty. Would love to come for a visit if she can find a time which suits Beaton.
