Scope and content
Encloses one-hundred-and-fifty-something pages "disfigured" with queries and suggestions. Apologises for the untidiness. Hopes Beaton will be able to read his scrawls. Has made many tentative cuts. On the whole the work is "extremely fresh and entertaining". Would like less about Beaton's youth and more about his adult phase, including celebrated sitters and his observations of changes in the social scene. Asks to meet soon.
