  • Description
  • An affectionate and intimate letter. Hawkins understands that 'Stanley' 'has made a lovely composition of his own , using three flutes' and Hawkins is dying to hear it.

Benny (? Carter) has been telephoning Renee quite a lot. Renee thinks Benny has a bit of professional jealousy (? towards Hawkins) - Hawkins thinks of Benny as 'rather a nice fellow'.,,
