Scope and content
Was relieved to receive Beaton's letter, as he had 'begun to wonder if perhaps one of those mid-west club ladies hadn't kidnapped you for her very own'. Has been in hospital due to an infection. Is now in Ravello due to health and business reasons. Asks if they could spend Beaton's spring holiday all together. They are not going to New York until September. "House of Flowers" is mostly finished, but there are still many things to do with it. Will probably not come to London until September. Has seen one review of "My Three Angels" but this was not good. Is glad that Beaton has progressed with his fashion book and longs to read it. Jack has finished his new novel and it is lovely.
