Scope and content
It was kind of Beaton to send her such lovely flowers and a charming letter. The freesias are here in her room. After the first day or two of being away she began to enjoy it. However she was sent modern novels to read which were "so loathsome, & so perfectly horrible, that I felt quite sick with distaste".
