Scope and content
Received Beaton's letter today. Discusses the Coronation. Watched it on television and then listened to the radio report of the ceremony. Is distressed at Beaton's suggestion of leaving. Is sure that if there has been criticism of Beaton's behaviour around the office, it is not inspired by the 'incident of long ago'. Feels that the difficulty between Beaton and some of the editors may be because he finds 'bread-and-butter' fashion sittings boring. But Beaton must 'accept some of the dull with some of the shine'. Presumes Beaton will see Pat in London and hopes that they can find a solution.
