Scope and content

Thanks Beaton for his letter. Was flattered to get it, but nearly had a fit at the idea of Beaton's making a play of her. Looked at a pretty portrait of the Queen for her birthday and felt sure it is the one Beaton spoke of. Hopes Beaton will be able to get out in September. Ada is still rather low. She feels the want of her right hand. Jessie and David have built a new lavatory and enlarged the sitting room downstairs and now she can have her meals in it and entertain people. Thinks Beaton must have a lovely time going around decorating interesting places.
