Scope and content
Discusses jewellery taken over by Mrs Musker and what has been left. Thought best not to claim on the insurance for a lost cigarette lighter. Went to see the dress rehearsal of Beaton's ballet and thought it was heavenly. There were lots of people at the rehearsal and they were all very enthusiastic about Beaton's clothes. Also saw "Follow the Sun" and thought it was a poor show on the whole. Heard from Mrs Beaton that Beaton is arriving back in April. Hopes Beaton will not be furious, but she has told Martin that he had better stick in his present job and not go back to Beaton. Has heard appalling stories about his drunkeness from William. Asks if Beaton wants her to engage another chauffeur for him. Hopes she has done the right thing. Mrs Laycock has paid off her bill.
