Scope and content
Feels rather guilty at writing this letter, so she has written "Private" at the top of it. Would like Beaton to make another photograph of her as he is"the only man who can make a plain woman interesting". Lots of newspapers, friends and Liberals ask for her picture but she refuses all requests. Thinks Beaton is a very great artist. Is sending him a dish to put grapes and oranges on. Plans to retire from London life.
