Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for the flowers he sent. Read "Figures in a Landscape" yesterday morning and has been thinking about it ever since. Feels that there is an air of unreality running through the play. Discusses the play further. Feels that the writing should be equal to Beaton's best style and stamped with his 'personal idiom', and does not believe that this play is. Feels that the character, 'G', does not come alive. Discusses the characters further. Feels that this letter sounds depressing, but knows that Beaton wants his honest opinion. Hopes to see Beaton soon.
