Scope and content
Typescript letter signed to Beaton in London. Found his play "charming" but lacking in Beaton's usual "penetrating wit". Thinks it would be successful in the West End but not suitable for Broadway. Apologizes for taking so long to read the play, has been very busy with a project for American television.
