Scope and content
Beaton's book on royalty arrived without a card, but she feels sure it is for her from him. It is "divinely beautiful". Is thrilled that Balenciaga and St. Laurent love Beaton's clothes. Asks him to send a wire after photographing Plisetskaya. Feels that it would be their greatest coup. Hopes that all goes well "as she is rather mad and wild". Has written to Susan Train to have everything laid out.
