Scope and content
The happiest memories came flooding back to him as he read "The Wandering Years". Beaton will not remember that they went to the same childrens' parties and grown-up ones as well. Reminisces about the "countless happy times" he spent with Reggie. Vividly recalls the sound of his voice. Remembers teasing him about his infatuation with June. Treasured a photograph for many years but it was destroyed during the war. The images in Beaton's book have refreshed his memory. Hopes he will accept his thanks.
