Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for his sympathy. Describes the damage to the house. Will be thankful if nothing else happens. Has found out that the stored collection of a friend of hers has been completely destroyed. There is a 'terrific raid' going on as she writes. Hopes that they will never complain about anything when peace comes. Hopes that she could have lunch with Beaton some time. Receives very sympathetic letters from friends in America. Supposes that it must be 'horrible for them to watch us being knocked about'. Hopes that there is a 'special hell for dictators-they never seem to be ill like other people'.
