Scope and content
Has just got up from 'paralyzing, agonizing' illness. The doctor thought he had lip cancer. They took a piece of his lip and sent it for a biopsy and it came back negative. Hopes that Kin has arrived and that he and Beaton are doing lovely things together. Capote and Jack are on the beach. Had dinner with Jackie K. at the Fisburghs and the Fisburghs got annoyed because he and Jackie 'spent the whole evening talking about sex'.
