Is in the office scribbling on this pad many things she forgot to tell Beaton in her last letter. Margaret's burial was last week. Beaton's beautiful lilies were there. There will be a memorial service for all her friends to attend. Annie adored Beaton's letter. Expects the flat is for sale. Annie has been through a dreadful shock but the show is still going on.

Will find out if she can get Beaton the cape.

Beaton's telegram has arrived. Assures him that it would not have been worthwhile. It would have been nice to see Beaton but he hopes to be home around November.

Thanks Beaton for making such a tremendous effort on his behalf.
