Item 11 - Autograph letter signed to Beaton

Knows Beaton will be shocked, but he must be told that Margaret Case has grown a moustache and beard. He saw her the other day and they chatted for a minute, but then she realized that the gossip she was giving Green was about Green and she 'scuttled off embarrassed'. Discusses Case. Has a new rich client who has her own helicopter. Has been flying around in it and it is an exciting sensation. Has been getting lots of new rich clients and should be able to support himself soon. Discusses his business. Barbara Backeland called him and said that Tony turned up at her door at about four in the morning in a Friar's frock covered with blood and she had locked him in the maid's room. They admitted him to Paine and Whitney where the Director said that he was the sickest person there. The Backeland past has been exposed in a best seller called "The Merry Month of May" by James Jones, which is about them 'exclusively', changing only the names. Has seen a lot of Sandra Weidenfeld recently. She bought and paid for about $30,000 worth of art. Lady Sarah slipped out of town owing him a couple of grand. Discusses his plans for the next few months. Has convinced Eric he should have a $40,000 portrait done by Warhol. Discusses Eric.
