Scope and content
Received Beaton's charming letter, which she was much touched by. Beaton was sweet and appreciative of their feeble efforts. He was the one main pillar and prop. It gave them confidence to know the scenery and props were so perfect. It was great fun and she is glad to have been of any use. Hopes to see him again soon.
