Scope and content
Feels that he is not embittered, as Beaton writes in his book, and has a 'remarkable faculty for forgetting grievance which others would remember'. Sometimes falls into despair when exploited, but this state of mind changes. Is sending Beaton a long letter which he may not like, but will recognize the truth of. Beaton must remember that he has spent his life working and trying to find the funds to pay help. It was he who brought Beaton back into the advertising field at a bad moment in his financial situation, never expecting to lose the account to him.
