Scope and content
For several weeks the "soft and radiant pink" scarf has been with her and she blessed Beaton for sending it to her. Beaton's "dear letter" also gave her pleasure. Discusses the October weather. Is planning a visit to Paris via Switzerland. Will Beaton be able to come out here at all? Is glad that Ashcombe has been replaced by the new place he "extravagantly went and bought". Hopes Beaton will send some snaps. Gathers that life in England is becoming more difficult to cope with. New rationing is soon coming in. Olga is still staying on. Many friends went abroad during the summer and have not returned.
