Letter to Anthony Bliss [Executive Director of the Metropolitan Opera] from Mary Lasker, concerning funds for the future production of 'La Traviata'. Lasker confirms that she will provide $75,000 for the future production of 'La Traviata', provided that the set and costumes are designed by Beaton. Includes cover note addressed to Beaton, in which Lasker writes that her letter to Bliss ought to be enough to guarantee the eventual production of 'La Traviata', which she is still looking forward to.
