Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for letter and clippings. Praises New York and makes a list of things that are only in New York. On Saturday the Duchess of Gloucester open or shut something in Salisbury. They are all working at the Municipal Elections in Wilton in order to secure votes for Edith. Discusses her weekend. People say that the Duchess of Gloucester does her public work admirably and is extremely popular. Is rushing to tell Beaton all of her news before driving Edith's supporters to the polls. Is going to 'fuss' over an exhibition of Nijinsky's drawings tomorrow. Has heard that the plays are very poor this autumn. Caroline was 'excellent' in hers but it is dying quickly. Discusses the play. Natasha and Jack are here and David had a cocktail with them last week.
