Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for the "wonderful" present. Is delighted with the photographs in the Daily Express. It is a comfort "not to appear as a cross between a turkey that has been insufficiently fattened up for Christmas, and an escapee from Broadmoor!". Hopes he is having a lovely holiday. Also hopes that he will be back in time for her Centenary Celebrations. Will send him a new poem.
