Content and context

Expresses happiness at having received Beaton's letter. Is happy that Beaton at least has the theatre, if not the cast. Asked the fortune teller, Franz Werner, if July would be a good month for Beaton and he said yes, but that August would be 'astonishingly good'. Praises the fortune teller's accuracy. Jane Bowles is in Paris. She doesn't know where Paul is and hasn't heard from him in several months. The E. Williams 'did rather suggest' that they were friends of Beaton's. They are 'a fishy pain'. They were thrown out of their hotel. Does not know why, and those who do are 'singularly reticent' about it. Evelyn sent a play of his called "Accolade". Discusses Beaton's pictures of Jamaica. Is working too hard to enjoy the summer. He and Jack hope to be finished with their books in a month and then they are going to Venice and then to America. Asks if Beaton knows Saint-Subber. Saint Subber wishes to give Capote money in the event of him writing a play.
