Scope and content
It was kind of Beaton to trust her to return her mother's letter. Found it haunting. Is returning Beaton's letter and a photocopy. Also encloses her one and only publication. Works for the Ministry of Housing and in 1968 was asked by the Housing Management Department to write an article for their staff magazine. They are housed in Birmingham and their publication is called the Bush Telegraph. The article enclosed shows the sort of life being led by people threatened with eviction, mostly immigrants. The only help they can offer them is to try to reduce their rents. Asks Beaton about the progress of his book.
