Thanks Beaton for everything: his letter and all he says in it, and the charming and wonderful things he wrote about Sidney. At first she was angry that the Times did not print it but now she is glad that local people will see it. Beaton was such a real friend to come over and see Sid these last months. Diana and Henry have been wonderful. Has 43 "wonderful, cloudless years" to look back on. Is glad she has Beaton's charming pictures of Sid by the bridge.
