Scope and content
Enjoyed the picture of Beaton sunning the Gainsborough costumes in the garden. It is exciting news that the play is going to be done. Thinks that Donald Wolfit would be excellent. Asks to be told all the news. Would be nice if he could come to see it. Has not heard from Slim since the beginning of June and is concerned by her silence. Beaton's item about her and Pam C. (Churchill) 'stunned' him. Babe did not mention it in her last letter. Saw Leland and Mrs. C. in a restaurant and teased them that he would write to Slim. Actually did write to Slim, asking if 'she knew her husband was running round with the notorious Mrs. C.'. Asks if he has really left Slim. Asks to know eveything Beaton knows about it. Wishes Beaton good luck with the play.
