Scope and content
Beaton must think he is a 'fathead' for not answering his letters sooner, but he has been picking grapes. Played tennis with Vick Myers and tried to apply pressure to make him go ahead with Beaton's play, but has not heard from him since. He seemed reluctant to start until the cast had some names of value. Discusses his plans for the next few months. Is keeping Beaton's July letter close to hand as it has excellent casting and music suggestions in it.
