Scope and content
Beaton's wire was brought in this afternoon. Was worried as she had had no reply to the telegram she sent soon after she arrived in Alexandria. Wondered if he had been once more bombed out of Pelham Place. Has followed Beaton's work in Vogue & Tatler so that she can know about some of Beaton's occupations. Vogue USA asked her for an article on refugee life in Alexandria, but she did not have the heart. She must let it come naturally "as I really feel I belong to nowhere and nothing". The raids have been quite exhausting. Her father has not been well. Last page missing.
