Thanks Beaton for his letters. Consoles him for the bad reception of his play. Muses on the hardships of life. Complains of the heat. Reports that she is dissuading George Schlee from travelling to Europe because he is still weak but may still go on her own. Feels tired and morbid. Encourages Beaton to write another play and to write to her.
Includes correspondence, diaries, notebooks, typescripts and one photograph.
