Scope and content
Beaton's mother got off yesterday with Agnes and the nurse, and has had a good night. Aunt Carla is going down this afternoon and "I am going down tomorrow morning to take your presents from Hal and curious things the nurse has telephoned me to take". Discusses his mother's illness and "miraculous" recovery. It was nice to see Hal this morning. He gave her news of Beaton and the recording equipment he has been using. Beaton was wrong to think she was cross that he called her about the delay of the Ryan pictures. Discusses the domestic strife caused by Beaton's mother. In the New Year she is going to find someone to live in. The Balmain Shawl for Beaton's mother is quite lovely. Nancy would like some roses for her new garden.
