Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for weekend visit. Regrets not having walked more with Beaton in his garden. Praises Beaton's winter garden and compares it with his 'great stage creations'. Discusses the scent of flowers. Has always wished Beaton to come and stay in her Kew home, but having seen Beaton's home, never wishes him to come. Imagines how Beaton would react to it. Invites Beaton to stay anyway.
