Scope and content
Is leaving for Paris. The shock of John's death has left him "in a sort of haze". He fell from the window he showed Beaton. They called him and he died in his arms. A kind priest took him away. It is quite unreal. Cannot think that he only knew him for a few days. This "horrible disaster" is going to make him work for his memory. Does not want anyone to know this story. Hopes to see Beaton soon.
