Scope and content
Just received a letter from the Duchess enclosing the two Vogue pages. It was thrilling to see the pictures and flattering descriptions of herself. Is trying to find courage for the painful wrench of the departure. Has appreciated living near such dear friends. Is longing to read the Diary in book form. Asks Beaton what he is coping with now. Is happy David's job is interesting. Hopes to hear from Beaton very soon. Must now go and collect the objects sprawled all over the floor and press them into two small bags.
