Scope and content
Must apologise for keeping Beaton's story so long. Liked it a good deal but would like it to have a little bit more of the "admirable astringency" of his descriptive prose. Would be greatly flattered if Beaton could write an article for the Cornhill on his impressions of the Orient. Thought he noticed a "tone of slight exasperation" in Beaton when they met at Pelham Place. Hopes it was not directed at him.
