Scope and content
It is angelic of Beaton to have sent her his book. Everyone who comes to the house is filled with admiration. Is glad it has all worked out well as she knows Beaton was nervous. David was home and full of interesting stories. He is far more observant than he was. Jem Robertson's death is a great loss coming so soon after Geordie's. They are soon to have a by-election which is difficult to predict as they have "no agent, no committee, and no register of voters!" Maud Nelson says Beaton will get this before he leaves Cairo.
