Scope and content

Is practicing Beaton's technique of dashing off letters without labouring over them. Finally sold the mask to Lady Goldsmidt. She is going to pay his debts in England and he is replacing the money which goes to the collection in Peru. Went on a public relations trip to Tallahassee with a lovely group of people. Went to Vermont with Ed Bayward and Virginia Dwan to a Tibetan meditation monestary. It was the most peaceful and relaxing four days he has ever had. Money is slowing down the Peru exhibition.
