Scope and content
Feels ashamed at not having written before. Has been invited to stay with Rowley Leigh. Describes the house. Has had very little time to see anyone. Has met a number of people including Katherine Hepburn. Had an amusing weekend at Palm Springs. Met Mae West and was "delighted to see she came up to my wildest expectations". Arrived into an "absolute hotbed of intrigue". Discusses the complications his arrival has led to. Has decided to stay and try to work things out rather than run away. His colleague's drawings are vulgar and he hopes they won't turn out as bad as they seem. Bemoans the system and the unlikelihood of his drawings turning out the way he wanted. Wishes Beaton all the luck in the world. "Tillywigs" is here doing some tests. Hopes she gets a break.
