Scope and content
Has heard from Oggie that Beaton is ill. Wonders if she poisoned or starved him during his stay or whether the return journey was so uncomfotable that it gave him a nervous breakdown. Hopes that he wasn't bed ridden during the raids as that would have been 'excrutiating'. Thanks Beaton for Piper book. Discusses Piper and Reitlinger. Invites Beaton to stay again to see a folio illustrated by Martin.
