Content and context

Is writing to Beaton in the middle of a fierce storm. The weather has been good on the whole. Has taken up underwater fishing. Is glad that everything turned out well in Manchester. Hopes Beaton makes lots of money. Discusses Saint and the Wilsons. Just had to go outside and help Jack rescue the terrace furniture and is now drenched. Wishes he could entice Beaton to spend his August holiday in Sicily with them. Asks if Beaton would ask John Heyward to read Jack's book and, if he likes it, to re-send it to the Cresset Press. They turned it down originally, but said they might reconsider it if someone recommended it to them. Thanks Beaton for the photographs, but feels that he looks fat in them. Wonders what Beaton will think of the play. Is delighted with the idea of a May production of Beaton's play.
