Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for his letter and present. Thanks Beaton for his hospitality over the last three months. Was delighted that Greta's visit was 'so full of enchantment'. Will write to Aldrich and Myers. Is anxious to direct the play. Praises Beaton for 'driving on' with "The Gainsborough Girls" throughout all the frustrations and interruptions. Is glad that he is determined to carry on writing plays. Will be ready to come to Reddish on Wednesday if that is what Beaton would like. Mentions Rita Smith.
