Scope and content
It seems as unreal to be leaving now as it was coming here. Reminisces about her trip. The "shifting situations" have left her mentally exhausted. Discusses the implications of the present situation. Cannot think why this letter is getting so gloomy. The news of the tank column reaching up near Rheims shook her to pieces. Had a very anxious cable from Egypt. Has good faith that they will reach Belgrade on Sunday morning. Will then proceed to Greece, and trusts to get out safely within a fortnight. Asks Beaton to give the little Greek snood to Natasha. Wishes she could write to her but "I don't feel much like writing anymore". Is pleased Beaton is again doing "dirty Vogue business" until he is put in some interesting war work. Hopes he writes often.
