Scope and content
Hopes that Beaton got home safely. Is sorry that the Jamaica venture did not work out, but what can Beaton expect if he 'will hang out with such low company in such low places as Miami and Kingston'. Discusses his house servant, Graziella. Everyone writes that Tenn's play is a 'mess'. 'Adored' Beaton's story about Carson. Wishes Beaton had broken her rib. Hopes that Beaton has made final arrangements with Alderich and Myers. Asked his fortune teller about "The Gainsborough Girls" and he said it would be a success. He told Capote that he will have a nervous breakdown this autumn, so he had better hurry with his book.
