Scope and content
John (Betjeman) is returning from the Shetlands on Good Friday. Has muddled her weeks. Can no longer go to Beaton's lunch party as she needs to go to the 'annual sale of horse drawn vehicles and harness'. Would not go, but is looking for a governess cart for her grandchildren. Feels bad as she couldn't come last time Beaton asked. Expresses sadness and apologises for getting the weeks mixed up.
