Scope and content
Was delighted to get Beaton's letter from Chungking only ten days after it was written. Their lives have been disorganised again by this "abominable pilotless plane". Discusses the damage that air raids have caused. John has just brought out a gallery book and James is reviewing a book on England. Beaton's book on photography is enchanting. Hopes Beaton doesn't stay too long in the USA. He simply can't be there when the war ends.
