Scope and content
Liked the letter and the person who wrote it. It is 'sensitive and warm, and honestly troubled'. It is possible Beaton could overcome her conviction that it would not work, but if he does, he must remember that 'you start off with a terrible burden: always on your toes to prove that you were right and she was wrong'. But Beaton must try if it is what he wants. Is sure Abbott will do something, as 'he's much too shrewd not to'. Looks forward to seeing Beaton in Verbier.
