Scope and content

Thanks Beaton for the "fascinating" pictures of Marjorie Blossom Wilson. In the pictures she is "the most divinely beautiful person that ever was". Read Beaton's letter about their mention of his book "My Fair Lady" very seriously. Will tell Beaton all about it the next time they meet. The last thing she would ever want to do is offend him. What happened was "a tremendous error and extremely rude on our part". Discusses the possibility of a profile on Pamela Wyndham. Has asked Kirstie Hesketh if they may do pictures of her house with her in it. Feels that "ravishing personalities" are more important than beauties. Would love Beaton's advice on this. His profile of the Devonshires was riveting. Hopes that Beaton will be as proud of his "Old-Timers" in January as they are. Wonders if he can think of some "young, raky types" that would be amusing for them.
