Scope and content
Asks if Miss Nelson could add another address for him into Beaton's address book. Is glad to be leaving his "hot Oxford-like rooms". Asks if Beaton has a copy of parliament. Feels not to be a writer must be "exquisitely dull". If he had children and they did not publish books he would disown them. Suspects he is in Charlie's bad books and is definitely in Alice's. That "soggy Mcann creature" came up this week. Longs for details of Lady Windermere. Is reading a book about the Tolstoy marriage. Would love to see Beaton here. Mentions the "election chaos".
