Scope and content
A typewritten letter, in which Krawitz suggests that Beaton contact Barbra Karinska, to offer her some encouragement. He also confirms that the orders have been placed for the wigs. The conductor, Stokowski, has requested that some of the musicians be placed on stage during the performance; if so, they will require costumes. However, Aoyama has not yet agreed to this and may not agree.
