September 22, 1954 Dear Mr. de Burlet: From the notes I made after my visit with you, I am counting upon receiving certain photographs, and I am just sending you these lines to remind you. As you probably know, the New York business season is a very short one indeed, and thus no time should be wasted if we can avoid it. Among other items, I would enjoy receiving photographs of your tall wood sculpture (St. Nepomucene?) as well as of the two wooden busts attributed to Greco. I would greatly appreciate your sending me at the same time a description of the different objects, containing dimensions, pedigrees, etc., etc., as well as, of course, information regarding the prices. Do let me take advantage of these lines to tell you how very pleasant it was to have seen you again after so many years. Trusting you have had a restful vacationg and looking forward to hearing from you, with all good wishes, Sincerely yours, Germain Seligman Mr. Ch. Albert de Burlet 49 St. Albanvorstadt Basel, Switzerland TP
