Beaton is a rascal not to be in contact for so long. Is still on Ischia and getting fat on pasta and 'less fond of all things Italian every minute'. Will be arriving in Paris on 17th June. Saw in the "Paris Tribune" that Beaton's 'very best friend' will be in Paris on the 13th of June and thought that maybe Beaton would be coming over to meet her. Waldeman is at 10 Palace Gate again. Lists people who have recently killed themselves. Isherwood has written that there is 'a most infamous purge on in Los Angeles' and that some of his close friends are 'taking a rest at state expense'. Has done nearly a third of his new novel and has had a suit made for himself to celebrate. The news he sends is skimpy, but can't write much from 'this forsaken island'.
