BEATON (Sir Cecil, 1904-1980, Photographer & Designer)

Testy Autograph Letter signed "Cecil" to Philip DOSSE (died 2018, Publisher of 'Books and Bookmen') saying that he "would be appalled to have that little __ write the review of my Diaries. He wrote a biased stinking review in Chicago when I was there of the last vol and this one contains v unflattering things about his loathsome father so I know he'd do his damnedest. Please get it back from him & let me be reassured of this. Thanking you for the help ...", 2 sides 8vo., 8 Pelham Place, SW7, no date

He is almost certainly referring the Auberon WAUGH(1939-2001, Journalist, known for his savage reviews), and his father Evelyn WAUGH (1903-1966, Author). It is well documented that Waugh had a dislike of Beaton.
From a collection of correspondence addressed to Philip Dosse.
