Scope and content

Typescript letter, in which Krawitz thanks Beaton for the prompt response to his cable and writes that Barbara Karinska is now proceeding with her work on the costumes for 'La Traviata'. A couple of problems have arisen during a detailed study of the production's stage scenery, however, which Krawitz feels should be discussed further. He concludes by suggesting that it would be very useful if Beaton could travel to New York within the next two weeks in order to resolve these problems.
