Scope and content
Was just sitting down to write Beaton an 'effusive fan letter', when his letter arrived. Invites Beaton to visit any time after Christmas. Has just finished reading "The Years Between". Praises the book. Cannot believe he was such an 'ill mannered clot towards Beaton so many years ago. Is glad that it was many years ago and 'time and a great many tides have obliterated it' but it is a 'strong lesson'. If Beaton can't come for New Year, they will meet in London. Suggests Beaton come to Jamaica any time after the end of January.
