Scope and content
Thanks Beaton for his letter. Should have written long ago. The experience of "House of Flowers" was 'excrutiating', but at least it may make some money. Went to Jamaica with the Paleys. Then went and stayed with David and Jennifer in California. Jennifer has gone to Hong Kong to make a film. Has no plans until May, when he intends to leave for Italy. Saw Greta at a party lasy night and she looked well, 'though her hair seemed a peculiar colour'. The house in New York is freezing. Lincoln Kirstein has resigned his post. Irene S. seems set to go ahead with the play. Peter Brook read it and said it was 'one of the worst plays he'd ever read' and that she was 'insane' to put it on. She is giving Capote the script this week. Heard that Beaton is going to Portugal. Wishes him a good trip.
