Scope and content
Confesses he has not yet got Beaton any salad oil, but has only been here ten days. Is desperately happy here. Describes Washington and his life there. Is happy wandering round "like a child out of the nursery". Tells Beaton about his house, which is "like a biscuit rather". Describes his trip to New York. Has just bought a "huge, ugly, black binder". Is going to rearrange his sitting-room, write some novel and go for a walk. "Do you see how enjoyable my life is being?" Asks Beaton to write by air mail. Has not forgotten Maud's hot-water bottle or pills.
