Item 15 - Typescript letter signed Gloria to Beaton, from New York

Is in a rage at Buckle himself since he put Astrid Zydower in a false position. Has been reading Andre Maurois' life of Balzac. Discusses various painters. Has had shingles in his mouth and eyes. Has hired Frank Hauser to do "Twelfth Night" at Stratford, Connecticut. Instructs Beaton to tell Simon to call him. Jamie has gone to do his military service. Suspects Nerina did nothing about the death-mask of Pavlova. There is a new Performing Arts Museum and Library now open at Lincoln Center. Has deposited all of his books, pictures and archives there and suggests Beaton does the same if he has nothing better to do with them. Recommends the Mander and Mitchison book on the British music hall. Mentions Dali exhibition.
