Item 12 - Autograph letter signed to Beaton, from London

Discusses de Groot and what publicity they have received by him. Brian Cook is keeping the exhibition on for another week. Thinks he is crazy, but he did it without consulting her. They have sandwich men patrolling the street with placards. Thinks this is a good idea, but that he should have done it earlier in the exhibition. He did not even put the sign up outside the shop until the end of the first week. Discusses Beaton's fee for the exhibition. Heard that Mrs. Douglas had left "Vogue". Thinks she must have been given the boot. An irritating woman called Mrs. Ranibird has taken her place. Derek Hill sent her tickets for his ballet. The opening night has been postponed due to Mrs. Baylis' death.
