Content and context

Has never been so unhappy or frightened in her whole life. A month ago heard that Grace Mirabella had been appointed editor of "Vogue". Writes that Mirabella was an assistant of Diana, 'devoid of any editorial ability, personality, education or sophistication'. Now hears that Diana will be relieved of active duty and become Consultant Editor of "Vogue". Asks Beaton not to tell anyone that he knows this as Diana does not want anyone to know until it has been officially announced. Criticises the new management of "Vogue".

A note at the top of the letter in Beaton's hand reads 'Last letter from Mt Case before her suicide'.
