Scope and content
Admires Beaton's work and longs to sit for him. Is due to have a baby and her appearance is 'so grotesque and generally absurd' that she dares not be seen by the human eye, let alone the camera. If she survives it might be possible before Beaton goes to America. Asks Beaton to ask her again 'after the ordeal'.
