Scope and content
Two calm nights in London makes her think of Beaton. Thought it was nice for various friends to have a break from the blitz. Heard from Emerald in Winnipeg. Is alone and prefers it if she cannot be with Dug every day. Discusses her various visitors. Is never off the foreign radio. The Paris radio propaganda makes her sick, for although it is run by Nazis, the speakers are always French. Hopes the Western Desert continues well. Has Ellen for comfort. Sent 'sour puss' to a more dressy lady which saves £200 a week. Asks about the people Beaton sees. Would like to visit Oggie. Maureen said she could go to her place, but fears it would be all Bridge.
