Scope and content
Thanksgiving has become a "gastronomic etcetera". Has been eating for the past thirty six hours. Henry had a hernia operation recently. There were eighty people at tea yesterday. Has visited the Barnes Collection and the Turkish Embassy. Feels that "the march of progress is ruining vice". Discusses Princess Margaret and Mr Bing. Talks about his plans to visit Dublin and London and cure his ameba. He will then ask for a year's leave of absence from work so that he will still be on salary. Because of this his morale is soaring. Sends his love.
