Scope and content
Has thought of Beaton often and intended to pick up his quill, but put it down again. Has heard that he found Hollywood tedious. London, though, is nicer than for ages. Discusses his London friends. Is looking forward to the production of Swan Lake. Harold arrives for a week in November. The film industry is in as great a crisis as ever but he is full of "grandiose" projects. Misses seeing Beaton. Sends his love.
