Scope and content
Acknowledges the safe arrival of the 3 cheques. Has sent them away to be kept safe until the matter is sorted out with the Bank of England as how to Beaton's American tax is to be paid. It would help if it would be possible to get an idea of how much tax is to be paid on the 3 cheques. Feels it would not be tactful to ask Korda for the money and unless Beaton is in real difficulty he should not take it from his own account. Beaton's cable has just arrived and the latest pictures are being sent to Vogue. Feels that he must have a pretty complete set by now. Discusses the other cheques Beaton has received. It is bitterly cold and icy here but Beaton's mother says Reddish "looks like a Xmas card".
