Scope and content
Thanks Hose for her letter. Had telephoned Beaton from London, not knowing that he was ill. Expresses sorrow to hear that Beaton is ill. Beaton has sent some photographs to her in Cornwall and she has realised what a 'delightful Christmas present' she has received from him. Asks Hose to convey her thanks to Beaton and praises his 'amazing artistic gifts'. Will keep the photographs 'a dark secret' as long as Beaton wishes. Hopes that Beaton gets better soon and that they can have lunch together when she returns to London.
