Item 13 - Typescript letter signed to Beaton, from London

Was unsure whether to cable Beaton. The papers in England are saying that Beaton has resigned from "Vogue". The office and the newspapers keep ringing her up to ask what has happened. Thinks it would be a pity if Beaton severed his connection with "Vogue" now. Advises him to wait until he has established himself firmly as a writer. Asks Beaton to let her know the whole story. Had a wonderful ten days in Switzerland and came back to find that Beaton's mother had gone to Biarritz. Discusses arrangements for this. Hopes there is not going to be any trouble about the picture of Rosamond Pinchot published in the "Express". They asked Joseph if they could use a picture and she said that they could use the photograph from the "Book of Beauty" but not the sketch. They used the sketch anyway and have said that if there is trouble, Joseph should say that they photographed the sketch straight from the book without anybody's permisssion. Hopes Beaton finds time to tell her the whole story and hopes it is not going to bring a storm down on his head.
