Scope and content
Beaton says that he must tell him "quietly & sincerely" what he thinks of the photographs. This is difficult for him as he is "nearly crazy at their beauty". Asks where he should send the unwanted ones. Would like to order "heaps" of some of them. Praises many of the photos, some of which "are quite perfect". Loved Beaton's letter. Is "imprisoned in the grisly north" so letters are such a joy. Cannot tell him how beautiful the photographs are. Discusses his news. Baba is at the Connaught ball.
