Scope and content
Wishes that Beaton were here as it is hot with golden sand and purple rocks - perfect except for the 'bombers whizzing' overhead. Has a small spare room and would like Beaton to visit soon. Is coming to London soon for a Red Cross course on war relief and hopes to see Beaton there. Would like to hear of Beaton's 'crusade' and wonders if he saw Christopher Sykes or Lord Cory. Daphne shares the house and they must leave tomorrow.
