Scope and content
Has not answered Beaton's letter because she thought she would give him a long account of Duff's last days. Beaton would give this back later as she would like to record it. Beaton was so loved by Duff that he is the best one to address it to. Has worked hard at her letters, doing thirty to fifty a day. Still has about two hundred to do. Once she has finished, she will write her 'plain bald letter' so Beaton may know the 'best and the worst'. Discusses her travelling plans and companions.
