Scope and content
Beaton's lovely letter was waiting for him yesterday. He sounds in great spirits. Is here to work on Lascar. Would like to ask Beaton's advice about the colouring of the book and the illustrations. Discusses the book. Hopes to see Beaton in early June. Shares his love for Africa. If he is near Wilsford he should go and pick some lilies of the valley.
