Scope and content
Hose writes that Beaton has never officially taken photographs of the Marquesa Casati, but that while visiting her house in South Kensington shortly before she died, he managed to take several surreptitious photographs, without the Marquesa's full consent. Hose encloses two of the snapshots with the letter. She also asks whether the negatives of a black dress from COCO may be returned to Beaton at Tallmey's convenience.
