Scope and content

Thanks Beaton for the postcard and parcel. Wonders why he behaves so much better than he did when he was in America last year. "I suppose it is because you are nicer and more considerate by nature". Is it true that Beaton is to act Lord Windermere? Was delighted by Beaton's décor. He and Clarissa feel that Beaton is not conducting his arrangements with sufficient discretion. Is spending a week at Peggy Crewe's house in Surrey. Discusses his visit. Talks about his future travel plans which involve visits to Scotland and Ireland. Visited Sissinghurst last weekend. Is also working very hard with Lord H. Discusses George Dix who "has been trying to muddle up my life" by telling Maurice and Bill about each other. Spoke to Peggy who made a comment "so alarming and enigmatic" that he enquired no further. Is now working through 21 tin boxes of letters. Asks Beaton to let him know how he is.
