Scope and content
Everything that Beaton has done, said and written has been delightful for her. Would like to talk to him seriously when he comes over about not wanting to go on with the book. Is looking forward to seeing him. Is sending him a catalogue of the show. Nothing of Beaton's is in it. Apologises for disappointing him. The show is a smash success and the designers "are coming in droves". Feels that the show is "a fairyland of beauty". It makes her extremely happy. Asks Beaton to let her know when he expects to arrive in New York. Is proud enough to say that she really wants him to see the show.
