Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for his letter and 'kind promise' of help. His 'unfortunate financial position' came about because he paid off his father's creditors. Harrow was a 'wonderful time'. Writes that at Harrow, he 'acted with unhappy restraint' and that he was 'more than fond' of Beaton. He did not want to jeopardise Beaton's 'obvious brilliant future'. Has been consoled by Beaton's triumphs and his memories.
