Asks if Beaton is back from Detroit. It has been snowing for three days. Worries about Charlie, but the vet has given him a pill which seems to work. Would love to come to lunch with the Sitwells and the Queen Mother and June. Asks if he could stay at Pelham Place for a few days in November.

Does not care whether he does the "My Fair Lady" piece. Would just like to spend some time with Beaton. Is in a state of tension. Perry and Dick have an appeal for a new trial pending in Federal court. Does not think they will get the trial. If they do, he will have 'a complete breakdown of some sort'. Spent a weekend at the Paleys where he saw 'C.2', who is 'so pregnant that she really is grotesque and ought not to be allowed in public'.

Has just got up from 'paralyzing, agonizing' illness. The doctor thought he had lip cancer. They took a piece of his lip and sent it for a biopsy and it came back negative. Hopes that Kin has arrived and that he and Beaton are doing lovely things together. Capote and Jack are on the beach. Had dinner with Jackie K. at the Fisburghs and the Fisburghs got annoyed because he and Jackie 'spent the whole evening talking about sex'.

Especially liked Isabel Quigly's comments in "The Spectator". Discussed "The Gainsborough Girls" with Fred Kohlman. He thought it might be a good project for Sam Behrman. Kohlman is who Capote is supposed to be writing a film script for. Did not understand what Beaton meant about Lazar. Jack and the animals are fine.

Has finished his book. Went to Rome for two weeks and caught Asian flu. Then went to St. Moritz with the Agnellis. Discusses the visit and the other people that were there. Is going to New York tomorrow and Jack is going to Paris. Saint has had success with "The Odd Couple".

Wanted Beaton and Kin to know that the case is over. His book is coming out next January. Perry and Dick were executed last Tuesday. Capote went because they wanted him to. It was a 'terrible experience'. One day he will tell Beaton about it, 'if you can bear it'. The weather is cold.
