Scope and content
Beginning of the letter is in French. Asks how it feels to see Ashcombe "en plein printemps". Here it is cold and wet, and she keeps hearing how warm the spring is in Greece. The "dreary Isabelle" has been at her worst. Feeling ashamed, she asked her to go and see a film and "she got here before I had even had my bath". George dined and said so much about his trip. Thanks Beaton for his letter. Was excited to see him again after so long. Asks him to come again soon.
