Content and context

Their book needs Beaton's photos of Ottoline Morrell more than anything, but they are being kept in view of the next book of her memoirs, which Bertrand Russell has prevented from being published until after his death. As it is a shame "waiting around for the dear old boy to die", perhaps Beaton could do a little investigating and get "bits and parts" that may be amusing. Beaton may be able to have a conversation with Lady Ottoline's daughter if he knows her. Is anxious to publish the pictures and is afraid that they "will not have much punch" unless they are associated with something.
