Scope and content
How pleased he was to get Beaton's Ashcombe letter. Wants to see him frightfully. Discusses their friends and acquaintances. The photographs are beautifully done. Reminisces about the days and mornings they were taken. Finds that "this life drives one more and more into a rather sloppy proustian frame of mind". Miss Millar told him her book is selling out. Vogue came down here and photographed him and Gay Margesson. Beaton planted the seeds of his photography fascination.
