Scope and content
Expresses pleasure at having received Beaton's letter. Discusses the "Daily Express". Reassures Beaton that everyone thought the story was silly. The N.Y. man was told to tell Beaton lies to get his reaction. Praises the set and the costumes. Beaton should only worry about not being there on Gala night. Tells Beaton not to believe anything next time a newspaper rings him. The Mayor of San Remo is sending 10,000 carnations to decorate the theatre. Fred looks very miserable. The photographers are coming tomorrow. They have had four postcards printed from Beaton's photographs to sell to the public. Hopes that M.F.L ("My Fair Lady") is coming along well.
