Was "astonished and disturbed" to find the picture of Lady Salisbury on the front of 'Sketch'. Would like to protest as this contradicts their agreement with Beaton by which they should be given first choice of all his work. Would like to know the circumstances in which 'Sketch' got hold of the photographs.

Beaton's book has arrived and it is delightful reading. Alfred went into hospital for some x-rays and they found an aneurysm. He has been operated on by a man called Bergen and it was a success. Alfred began to get better quickly but then began to get worse again. Nobody knows what it was, but they put him back on intravenous feeding and he got better again, though he has gout. Has been staying at the Ambassador East Hotel. Alfred's brother-in-law, George Bugbee, went in to see him in the mornings and she went in the afternoons. He is getting well and walks around the courtyard every day. He had a check up in Chicago and they found him in fine shape.
