Item 9 - Autograph letter signed to Beaton

First page missing. The paper is going better than ever before and they have been able to make continuation more certain than it has ever been. Finds it odd that it has been nearly a year since he saw Beaton. Hopes Beaton is not being depressed by the war or by the "Picture Post". Thinks it is a pity that the unhappy welcome public calamities as a means of working off their private misfortunes. Finds all the talk of 'taking it' degrading, as there is nothing else they can do. Looks at his goldfish and thinks of Beaton's at Cambridge.
