Scope and content
Called in to see Beaton's mother yesterday, but she was away. Spent Wednesday to Monday of Easter week at Wilsford. Her host lives about three miles from the dump where the regiment lives. Describes their living conditions. H. is out of that outfit, but not out of the army. Bertie is about to become Catholic. Miss V. Cowles is back and tells how people of New York are sick in the street when the raid alarm goes. Dan is being a wonder and the house is better thanks to his re-hangings and coverings. Thinks Wilsford will be a convalescent home soon. Discusses Daisy. Is dreading next winter as she does not believe the war will end for two more years. Hopes Hubert will be at Windsor soon. Is sad about all motors being off the road by 1st July. Thought Claire was old- fashioned and dull. Suggests places for Beaton to visit in Egypt.
