Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for his "beautiful and lovely" letter. Thinks it would almost be better not to have a telephone at all. Would have loved to hear about the ball. Gathers that Beaton amused himself by "snap snapping". Thanks Beaton for the catalogue of dresses. Has been reading "The Count of Monte Christo", which makes a nice change from Trollope and Henry James. Wishes Beaton a Happy Christmas.
