Scope and content
Beaton's cable to Vogue about the Duchess of Kent's pictures has been read to her. Describes how she took the pictures to the press in order for a choice to be made, then found out that the Duchess had changed her mind about the pictures. She informed the people concerned immediately. Had a letter from Augustus John in answer to a letter to Mrs John and she won't allow her pictures to be published. Telephoned Brian Batisford. Nancy and Hugh are here for the weekend. There is no news of importance. Is looking forward to An Ideal Husband on Thursday night.
