Papers of Sir Cecil Beaton

Thanks Beaton for the pictures and note. John, the room cleaner, was 'touchingly aglow and excited with his snaps'. Has given the nun's pictures to the nuns because the 'crazy one has driven me dotty' and has come to the hotel three times to ask about the pictures. Likes the picture of him and Binky. Hopes some of the town and landscape pictures turned out well. Allen Brien said that the clipping about H. Mackiz was 'very cruel, but most deserved'. Nick showed him some painting he had done and they were 'charming'. Hope Nick will not be delayed in going to England. Has booked a passage and sails on the tenth. Is glad that the Venetian tailor worked out, but was 'shocked to hear of the disappearance of the famous landmark'. Had a letter from Oliver S., who is recovering from a serious operation. The weather is 'divine' and all the people have left. Kitty is completely healed and happy.
