22 - Sept. 9th., 1943. Dear Boris: It was a great pleasure indeed, to receive your letter of August 29th., in which you definitely announce your trip East, as I am so much looking forward to seeing you again. Yes, I expect to be in New York at the end of September and in October. Now in this connection I would like you to answer me in full frankness, whether you think it wiser for me to communicate with Mr. Robert Nichols in regard to your "Ariadne" - which as you know, is still up at the Metropolitan Museum - before you come, or leave it to you to do so. I believe that with your charm, you may have a much better chance to put it across than I. However, this is not "trying to pass the buck", and should you wish me to take any steps I will abide by your decision. As you may recall, in fact I think I sent you a copy of the letter, I wrote to young Lt. Hill calling his attention anew to your beautiful "Grecian Youth" and though that was in the Spring, I have never heard from him again and I am wondering whether by any chance you have seen or heard from him? Saying "à bientôt" and with all good wishes, Most sincerely yours, (Germain Séligmann) Boris Lovet-Lorski, Esq., 1655 Gilcrest Drive, Beverly Hills, Cal.
