Scope and content
Beaton's book is a complete, amusing and agonising "period piece". Went on reading it all night. He writes very sincerely. Thanks Beaton for it. It will be a worthy monument to his memory. People will read the book and realise the best thing about him was not his genius but his loveableness. Will not send the typescript on today as she hopes Beaton will visit soon. Thanks him for the private view.
