Scope and content
Autograph letter signed to Mummie and Daddy. Is finally getting in more money than is paying out. Is $2000 up on the show not including photos taken as a result. Vogue is sending him to Everglades Palm Beach next week and Anita Loos is arranging that his exhibition should be shown there too. Lists work that he is undertaking. Has been photographing Miss Ruth Gordon in 'Serena Blandish - the difficulties of getting married' for Vanity Fair. Lists the people he has had to lunch that week. He thinks he must return next year to benefit from this year's publicity as it takes time to be successful. He would love to get to Hollywood and Mrs Moats has asked him to stay with them at Mexico City. His secretary has been ill and a file of photographs for inclusion in the Book of Beauty have been thrown away by mistake. Has seen a lot of Marguerite Alvaney, the singer, but has seen little of Bee. Mrs Chase has been very kind. Mentions Ilka and the Bossoins.
