Scope and content
Has had a letter from Joe Hiatt asking for the stetson hat back that Beaton wanted as a sample. Trusts it was not for him as it looks ghastly. Thinks Beaton should not move far away from the hat in the show as it would disappoint people if he did. Does not know if Beaton realises, but it has become almost a trade mark of "My Fair Lady". If only they had a percentage of every hat sold over the world, they would be even richer than they are. Looks forward to seeing Beaton in May.
