Scope and content
Was depressed on Monday and that is why he made no effort to try and see Beaton. A war office hitch means he has been sent here "to vegetate for God knows how long". Wishes he had seen Beaton properly after Dorchester. Wanted to tell him that he did take his letter to heart. The wife of the schoolmaster in whose house he works in said she always enjoyed Beaton's photographs in Vogue. Their photographing expeditions "on those cold blue-nosed days" were so perfect and such fun. When does he start for his Life Magazine tour of the countryside? Feels their friendship has been consolidated. This is a stupid letter but he feels "soggy" and rather miserable.
