^[[MS]] September 13th., 1948 Dear Leger: It is truly a very long time since I have seen or heard from you. When I was in Paris last year, I went to your apartment at this address, and was told you were away, and as unfortunately my stay was comparatively short, and had to travel a great deal, I did not have another opportunity of calling on you. For a while I thought I would go over in June, but this did not materialize, and I am wondering whether I will be able to do so this year at all. Meanwhile, I would like to know how you are, and whether you have been busy painting. I heard recently of the exhibition you had a Carré, in June, and in fact received a catalogue, but of course the titles give me no idea of what you have achieved. Do you have photographs by any chance of some of your recent canvases, or could I see some here in New York? Do let me hear from you, and trusting you are well, with best regards, Sincerely yours (Germain Seligman) Monsieur Fernand Leger 86 rue Notre Dame des Champs Paris France ^[[JS]]
