Scope and content
Beaton's letter was as sweet and generous as himself. Is still not sure whether to go to Africa or California. Would love to know Joan Crawford as he thinks she looks "noble & fine". Asks Beaton to recommend a good tailor. Willa Cather visits from Paris and he may sail with her and Wilkie. Is now able to drive his Rolls Royce. E.M. Forster has been staying with him here.
