Scope and content
Everyone likes Beaton's R.A.F. article. It is 'told so simply and so touchingly'. Would like to send Beaton some 'goodies'. Everyone in America lives in a state of suspense. Lots of charities are being organised for Britain. The United Service Organisation is trying to equip camps and amusement centres for their own soldiers in training. Chase and Margaret went to the opening dinner in Waldorf. Mrs. Vanderbilt's house is being opened for the first time. Conde has been ill with an ear infection and fighting off Mastoid. He seems improved now. Discusses British women's clothing allowance.
