Scope and content
Feels Beaton would "vibrantly" seek him out if he loved him. Beaton once touched him deeply by saying that he "appreciated & delighted" in him before anyone else. Has brought Beaton bouquets of flowers often and he has never brought him any. His friends mean a lot to him. Discusses his poems. Is going to New York. Wants to "drink at the fountain of wit and erudition". Asks who is "brilliant" in New York now. Discusses a play he has been working on. Asks Beaton how he manages to do so much. Will not call him unless Beaton calls him.
