Scope and content
Is sorry Beaton had to wait so long for his letter. Tried to telephone several times before he left for South America. It is so hot that he has to spend most of the day horizontal. Discusses the restoration of the house. Is getting frantic thinking about what to do with his life and career. The sooth-sayers and fortune tellers and tarot card readers all tell him that he is destined for great wealth, happiness, fame and success. Mel Ferrer and his wife were there for drinks and dinner last night. He is making a third class Italian pirate movie. The King and Queen of Spain are visiting the house next month.
