Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for sending him "Ashcombe". Beaton gave it to him before in New York, but he will enjoy reading it in Sicily. He and Jack think it is a charming book. Sicily is deserted and he is enjoying having it all to himself. George has been demoted at "Flair". He was doing a bad job if 'half the silly things in that magazine were his fault'. Asks how Beaton's various projects are going. His own book is coming out on September 18th, but he will send it to Beaton before that. Has just started a new novel, but it is too early to tell much. They are having wonderful fruit in Sicily. Enquires about Janie. Sends Beaton 'as many kisses as there are daisys in a meadow'.
