Beaton talks about life in London, his work, and films he has seen. One letter, in part: “I believe that Ray Long thinks that what I do on purpose is done out of incompetence...I did several sketches for this illustration—some made up out of my own head with the points about the figure that I thought interesting, typical, or amusing rather exaggerated...Long says...the shoes don’t look like shoes—but I think certain American boys do have shoes that look like balls of pliable dough,” with a sketch of the sort of shoes he is referring to. Another, in part: “London is dull at this time of the year & I suppose I’ll love the pep of N. Y.” In overall very good condition, with a separated lower right corner to one letter, and intersecting folds to each letter. RR Auction COA.
