Asks if Beaton would like to participate in a show called 'Masterpieces of Modern Photography' organised by two friends of his.

The show will be in two sections, the masters and the young photographers. They are in a winter flat. Pavlik is working in preparation for exhibitions. Is doing lots of painting. With an autograph note from Beaton to Eileen.
