The new house sounds 'like something you designed sketched on paper as your project for a dream house'. Discusses social occasion and all the people who were there. John Gielgud went and so did Greta. Dr. Hauser is in New York and Greta and Elsie have both been seeing him. Discusses Greta's reaction to Jerome Berbe's photographs. Discusses Greta further. Thanks Beaton for Dorothy Carrington's travel book. Beaton's travel writing 'compares well' with 'those other distinguished travellers through the ages'. Thinks the best writing Beaton ever did was his appreciation of Rex Whistler in "The Masque". Is glad that everything is going well with Paulette's costume and Alex. Asks if Vincent Korda is designing the scenery for "An Ideal Husband". Finds it hard to understand. Is glad that Beaton and his mother are settled.
