Scope and content
Has 'stolen a march' on the Sunday paper readers and has read Beaton's book, "The Happy Years" in it's entirety. Admires the book and discusses its merits. Discusses his portrayal of Greta Garbo. Knows Garbo slightly. Describes her as 'elusive, practical, romantic, almost mythological'. Wishes she could see Beaton, but is so seldom in London. Discusses various places and states that 'the wilder shores become harder and harder to find'. Is still 'anchored' by her two cats. Thanks Beaton for the pleasure his book gave her.
