A typewritten letter, in which Bing asks whether Beaton would be interested in producing the stage and costume designs for Adriana Lecouvreur, the first performance of which is intended to be February 16, 1962. He outlines rough dates for when these designs will need to be complete, together with a suggestion for a preliminary meeting in late March / early April.
