Scope and content
Had finished writing Beaton a letter, but had to tear it up in rage. Received letters two weeks ago from Mr. and Mrs. Sicke offering him use of their chalet in Gstaad. Capote accepted this offer and cancelled all of his Munich reservations. Then this morning when they were all packed and ready to go, they received a cable withdrawing the offer. Reflects on the Sicke's bad behaviour and how their plans are now disrupted. Discusses plans to meet Beaton.
