Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for all the photos he has sent her. All of the snaps have gone to various friends such as Lady Gascoigne. Jessie has given her one of Ada with her arm up. Asks if Beaton heard that Omar the peacock died. Is glad as it rubbed her superstitious mind to have it. Thomas crashed over Berlin shortly after they got it and was then shot in prison. Hopes 1950 will bring Ada happiness. Discusses her dog. The Pinders are coming back to Morroco so Jessie will be gay. David has had bad luck with his leg. Harry Dunlop came today to look at a bad foot on one of Abselam's sons. It was a stubbed and swollen toe and Harry was more sympathetic than she was. She suggested amputation. Is getting her Italian friend to give them a lecture on white magic.
