Scope and content
Typescript letter in which Selznick berates Beaton for not sharing her concern about the relative progress of the play. Selznick acknowledges that everyone has pressures and distractions, but stresses the need for Beaton's complete commitment to the play's development, since she feels that they have not had "the application and concentration" of which she is sure Beaton is capable.
