Scope and content
Was about to write to Beaton when his postcard of the towers of silence reached him. Often considers where Beaton is as he looks at the map. Is busy doing an essay on the Houses of Parliament. Saw Peter Q [Quennell?] and Peter Watson. Clarissa looks far happier than for months, or years. Discusses his Thursday looking around London. Always wanted to go down the Blackhall Tunnel. Is dining with Harold tonight. Discusses a poet he met in the war office. Dined with Emerald since he wrote to Beaton. Describes some beautiful books he found in Charing Cross Road. Hopes Beaton gets everything he can from living in China.
