The arrival of the "My Fair Lady" photographs created quite a stir. Asks Beaton to send a note letting him know how many more will be forthcoming, and what kind of pictures they will be. Informs him that 2, 058 copies of "Royal Portraits" have been sold and they expect to have sold them all by Christmas.

A copy of "Cecil Beaton's Fair Lady" arrived today. Thanks Beaton very much. It is a beautiful book. It will be "a permanent souvenir of a great play and of your own genius". Looks forward to seeing him soon.
