Heard from Mick Jagger that Beaton received a 'personal bruising' from his experience on "Coco". Is glad the show has been a success, but there has been a wear and tear on people's nerves. Hopes Beaton will rest somewhere warm and abroad. Was disappointed they could not do Beaton's play. Has become engrossed in the novels of Jean Rhys and read them with admiration. While reading "Quartet", felt that there was a play to be made. Obtained the rights of this novel and went to see Mrs Rhys. She admired the idea and was co-operative and constructive. Discusses ideas for the play. Imagines Marianne Faithfull in the role of victim. Asks if Beaton is interested in this idea.

Thanks Beaton for his letter and copies of the two photographs that Beaton wishes to reproduce in his book. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother is entirely agreeable to these photographs being reproduced in Beaton's book. Queen Elizabeth mentioned that there is a very attractive photograph of Her Majesty taken at the Coronation with her Pages. Queen Elizabeth had in mind that Beaton might wish to include this in his publication. Does not know whether Beaton had this in mind. It was used in one of Queen Elizabeth's Christmas cards.

Is delighted that Beaton thinks "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" is a good idea. Unfortunately, the dates with Beaton's musical clash. The production would need to be designed by December, rehearsals would start in February and the play would open in April. Anxiously waits and hopes Beaton can do it. Leslie is in Hollywood waiting to dub.
