Summary
Thanking him for the photographs; saying "I think they are excellent - especially of Marion and John : the only faults in mine are the Charlie Chaplin moustache (due, I suppose, to the lighting) and my not having bathed my eyes - and the next time you photograph your male guests at 11 p.m. or so you ought give them a rub over first with your electric razor, that is, if you use such a powerful lens. OTHERwise, they are a great deal better than Elliott & Fry have done for me. When shall I come and dine? After the 21st - not on a Wed. or Fri. and not during the period Apr. 2-9. Awaiting the further word from you."
