Scope and content
Hates to think of Beaton's garden wrecked and of the trouble he is having with G.G. [Gainsborough Girls]. It is a shame that Beaton has not been able to wear his 'lovely suit'. Suggests Beaton visits him in Sicily as the sun is still shining and the sea is still warm. They had a lovely time in Venice. The tea party with Fulco, Simon and Juliet must have been rather sad. Would love to read the new play. Is happy that Beaton thought that "Local Color" turned out well. Has had a letter from Themistocles Hoetis who is looking for a job. Thinks that he is 'one of the unemployables'. Jack sends his best and 'Kelly says he misses your leg'.
