A typewritten letter, in response to Beaton's request for his designs to be used for a forthcoming production of 'Turandot' in Covent Garden. Bing writes that he is not entirely happy with Beaton's suggestion, but concedes that were the designs used, then he would ideally like a credit line to be included, indicating that the designs were used by courtesy of the Metropolitan Opera.
