Content and context

Hopes that Beaton is making a fortune on his lecture tours and not having to eat too much cream chicken. Laughed over the clipping about Juliet, but thinks that somebody 'has it in' for that family. Discusses Saint and his personal life. Thinks Saint needs 'a dose of dignity', but is touched when he writes how in love with Beaton he is. Capote only got one good Christmas present, which was a suit that he gave himself. He and Jack have been working quite steadily. Jack has been 'put out' today after reading that Joan is getting married to a dancer called Bob Foss. The Chaplins visited last week. Wants to come to London in March. Jack and the animals would have to stay in Paris because of quarantine.
