Is relieved that they had success in London. Balanchine is very happy and Webster suggests that they return in 1967. Thinks this will be impossible as they will never again get any State Department travel money. Is grateful to Beaton for speaking about the death-mask of Pavlova. Proposes to have three casts made. Karinska has a man called Johnny Braden helping her with the men's clothes for "La Traviata". Believes that Freddie has asked Mimi Paul to quit working for them and go to him. Relates anecdote about Lyndon B. Johnson.
