Has just finished reading Beaton's book about Auntie Jessie. She was his Great Aunt as well as his God Mother. Remembers her telling him about the events Beaton describes in his book. Aunt Jessie asked him to keep some of the items that she and Redro Suaney (?) had collected on their travels. Will eventually hand them on to his son. Reminisces about Aunt Jessie. Thanks Beaton for the pleasure his book has given.

Thought that Beaton's performance in the John Freeman programme was remarkable. Doesn't know how anyone faces up to him. His behaviour was faultless. Some of the camera shots were also marvellous.

Was ready to come to Beaton's party on Boxing Day when people turned up for drinks. They wouldn't leave and so they could not get to Broadchalk in reasonable time. This was 'annoying and dissapointing'. Henry sends best wishes for a happy New Year.

With two cuttings of photos of Beaton, Lady Castlerosse and others, one from 'The Tatler'. Thanks Beaton for his letter. Poor darling Cimmie [ie Lady Cynthia Mosley] died this afternoon.
