Scope and content
Is distressed about photographs not arriving and about the things that Beaton does not appear to have in his luggage. Explains where various items were packed. Feels harassed by the news that Beaton had to leave his portfolio at customs and wonders what will happen to the pictures Mrs Von Hoffmanstahl is taking over. Is sending Beaton pictures for the exhibition. Gives details of what she is including. Has to go into a nursing home for a week for an operation. Has heard that Miss Penrose also has to have an operation as they think she might have a tumour. Thinks the public probably do not know this news. Will have "Vogue" send over the Mary Taylor drawing. Encloses some snapshots of Iris Tree and Nabokoff that she cut out, as she thought Beaton should include them in his photographs for the exhibition. Will have two more prints made at her own expense for Beaton's album.
