Beaton's letter was sent on by the Daily Telegraph. Is pleased that hers interested him so much. Reminisces about Lily Elsie.

Thanks Beaton for his letter. Wishes they could have seen the film together. Has been away with Edith on a "delicious visit". Helped her to make out the list for Beaton's tableaux in the autumn.

Thanks Beaton for his kind message on her birthday.

Thanks Beaton for his share in the present of the gesso gilt table which he "likes so much". It is kind of him to have thought of him.
