Letter detailing Beaton's agreement to accept a twenty per cent cut in salary. Gives details of new payments for various types of work. Conde Nast Publications have exclusive rights to Beaton's work. Mentions types of other work that Beaton is allowed to do. They are willing for Beaton to publish an occasional photograph in the British "Tatler" or "Sketch", but they must present the material in a way that stresses the art quality of the work of Cecil Beaton rather than just the news value of the photographs themselves. Beaton's work must not appear in any Hearst publications.
