Item 74 - Letter to Beaton

Hose was afraid that Beaton had given up as she has not heard from him, until she received Weissberger's letter, confirming that the reports of her visits to the solicitor and counsel had reached him. Was confused as to why he asked her if the private letter had been sent. Beaton needs to write it in his own hand, mark it private and ask for a receipt so that Wolfit won't be able to sue him. That "will be one sure good dig at him". They managed to get the rules of the Society of West End Theatre Managers through the Registrar of Friendly societies. Milmo and the solicitor will see which course of action can be taken in light of these rules. Will pass on Weissberger's suggestion to Milmo but thought Beaton did not want to go to court. Has supplied the solicitor with many press cuts and asks Beaton to send the latest one from the Irish press. Saw Alan [Tagg]'s play "One more River", which is "a bit coarse and sweaty, but very exciting". They all voted [for the general election of the 8 Oct.] and "tremble to hear the result". Autograph postscript: Sykes told her that Berman is going to buy all the costumes.
