Scope and content
As business conditions grow worse, "Vogue" is being forced to reajust their budget to meet reduced revenues. Requests that Beaton consent to a pay-cut, as Steichen and Huene have done, though legally they did not have to. Discusses how much Beaton would now be paid for certain items. Does not want Beaton to work for other magazines. Details what other kinds of work Beaton is allowed to do. Writes that Beaton is versatile so he will have 'a very large field of activity which does not encroach upon our domain'.
