Scope and content
Liked to hear from Beaton. Was hoping that the "boring" cold had left him to work comfortably. It must be "terrifying to be left alone with such beastly taxes". Hopes that the next time she comes over she does less "bouncing up and down" on the high road. Discusses her continuing illness. Often lies in bed, as "my brain is in a coma quite often and does not mind being left alone". Tonight she is being "had" by Laura to attend the Ambassadeur's opening night, so is resting in bed all day. Wishes she had gone out on Sunday night as she has heard two different stories of what happened. On Saturday she is seeing "that lousy Boeuf" again. Is convinced that Lola is separating from her husband. Describes Baba's house, which is "getting so pretty". David wrote that he is coming over again later on. Feels this letter is "like one of those endless telephone calls that exasperate one". Discusses her dentist.
