Scope and content
It was good of Beaton to go and see the portraits of Madame R. Is glad that he approved. Worries that there may be "rocks" to negotiate as he has heard that Madame disapproves of the chin line, which is described as "sagging". His contracts free the sitter not to accept the work if they disapprove, but he is disinclined to do alterations as it is the "beginning of the end". Thanks Beaton for everything. Hopes they meet soon when they return.
