I am trying to get a metapost drawing as logo added to right upper corner
of a DIN B style letterhead, but it does not show up, just the letter
itself. Is there anything to change to the layers for the MP toe reveal
itself?
Thanks, Jeroen

The letter module uses local settings for the page background to place
all the layer for the header, footer etc. and your own background setup
is overloaded by the module.
What you can do in this case is to use the predefined but unused
lettermain layer to place your logo in the background.
\usemodule[letter][style=dinb]
\startuseMPgraphic{mpglogo}
path p;
p := (0,0)--(100,0)--(100,100)--(0,100)--cycle ;
path q;
q := p cornered 30pt;
draw q withcolor black withpen pencircle scaled 7pt ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\startsetups[letter:layer:lettermain]
\scale[width=25mm,height=25mm]{\useMPgraphic{mpglogo}}
\stopsetups
\setupletterlayer
[lettermain]
[alternative=setups,
x=160mm,
y=17mm]
\startletter
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \par}
\stopletter
Another way to place content in the background is to use the “paper” (or
“text”) background which isn’t used by the letter module and your
settings won’t be overloaded.

Eventually, these two options worked. Firstly changing \setupbackgrounds
% BEGIN MP LOGO SETUP
\startuseMPgraphic{mpglogo}
path p;
p := (0,0)--(100,0)--(100,100)--(0,100)--cycle;
path q;
q := p cornered 30pt;
draw q withcolor black withpen pencircle scaled 7pt;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\definelayer
[logo]
[repeat=no]
\setlayer
[logo]
[hoffset=160mm,voffset=17mm]
{\scale[width=25mm,height=25mm]{\useMPgraphic{mpglogo}}}
\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=logo]
% END MP LOGO SETUP, BEGIN LETTER SETUP
\usemodule
[letter]
[style=dinb]

Alternatively, adjusting \setupletterlayer
\usemodule
