Scope and content
Expresses pleasure at Beaton's last letter. Discusses the 'hideous' nature of their lives. Went to Cyril Connely's 60th birthday party. Dined with Anne yesterday and there was a lot of brilliant talk. Discusses the guests. Jane looked like a cross between a 'school mistress and a brothel keeper'. Would like Beaton to be released for Christmas.
