Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for his letter. Thanks Beaton for signing the two books and for his friendly approach. She has always felt cut off from her Beaton relatives. Is reading "My Bolivian Aunt". Is enjoying it, but feels that Beaton's remarks about the Beaton women are not very flattering. Discusses her aunts. Spent a week of her holiday with a young relative, her husband and her seven children. Thouroughly enjoyed "The Wandering Years" as it gave her an insight into the Beaton's family life. Wishes she had known them when she was young. Will write to Beaton when she has finished the two books. Discusses Beaton's character.
