Found Beaton's third letter waiting for her the day before yesterday. Thanks him for asking her to lunch on Thursday. Unfortunately she will not be able to go. Would have been so pleased to see him.

It was lovely getting Beaton's long letter. His first drawings arrived last week. Hopes Beaton was touched by Edna's cable. Discusses the pictures of Beaton's that she has used. Is still trying to sort out his portrait material. Had lunch with Maud last week and talked about Beaton.

Discusses the possibility of Beaton doing a "Scrapbook" feature. Wonders if it would be "charming" to take a set of fashion photographs set out like a nineteenth-century fashion plate. Feels that fashion pictures taken against miniature detail landscapes would be a good idea. Is sending Beaton his contacts of the King and Queen. Asks about his book of portraits. Asks Beaton if he has ever photographed Michael Tippitt.

It is very kind of Beaton to suggest that she should sit for a photograph. Unfortunately she is unable to accept his offer as she is staying in Sussex.

Is glad that Sotheby's has acquired Beaton's archives. Cathleen came to see the play last night. Describes what happened when all the lights went out during the performance. She did not get water or electricity back until the next day. There has been "a great deal of wicked looting and crime".
