Scope and content
Was saved by a miracle today. Was painting when a stream of machine bullets poured through the skylight, breaking the scenery, and the roof fell in around him. He staggered into the passage when a second explosion occurred. Describes the damage. Managed to save most of the scenery. They do not know the casualty list yet. Beaton may come at any time he likes and take photographs as long as they are not of actual planes. Asks him to come soon.
