Papers of Sir Cecil Beaton

Has just returned after nearly two months in Kansas, an 'extraordinary experience'. Will let Beaton read about it as 'it may amount to a small book'. Wonders if Beaton is still in St. Moritz. Everyone has gone away to the snow or the sun. Was surprised that '"this person"' was surprised when Beaton proposed and 'amazed when she hesitated'. But feels that if it works out, it will be 'a better and happier thing for the thinking over'. Expresses sympathy about Stratford falling through 'in this tiresome and wasteful fashion'. Looks forward to Beaton's March return to New York. Has been out of circulation for so long that he has no gossip to report.
