Scope and content
Has been hearing so much about Beaton lately. Spoke to Lynn the other day and she said she hadn't realised how much people loved Alfred as well as admired him. She tried to reply to as many as possible. She is going to England early in October but is not sure where she will be staying. She told Nesbitt she had a present for Beaton. Met a man who is writing a brilliant book about someone who became the middleweight boxing champion of England at the age of twenty-one. Discusses the book. Enjoyed it so much that she sent him a fan letter. He said his favourite author was Cecil Beaton. Is "plugging away" at publicity for her book. Is looking forward to visiting Beaton.
