Scope and content
Beaton's letter was a joy. Encloses a story that appeared in New York Magazine about Charles. It is sad and nasty. Feels this is a new style of journalism. Has just finished his own piece on Charles which is more of a memoir. Spent the weekend at Kalima. Bill Paley is "a bit gaga". Babe seemed "completely missing". Hopes to spend Christmas in Marrakesh. Would Beaton like to meet him there?
