[[/preprinted]] February 5, 1974 Mr. Germaine Seligmann Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. 5 East 57th Street New York, New York 10022 Re: Estate of John J. Cunningham Dear Mr. Seligmann: I want to thank you very much for your courtesy in advising me of the contemplated sale of the Spanish Primitive painting referred to in your January 24th letter. Please pardon my delay in responding to your letter but I wanted to confer with Mrs. Cornwell, Mr. Cunningham's daughter. The suggestion that one of the leading London firms of auctioneers would handle the sale is agreeable to us but we would appreciate being advised as to which firm is going to handle the auction and when, where and in what lot the painting will be sold. We would like to follow the sale since it would be without reserve according to your letter. Your kind help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, [[SIGNED]] John E Fitzgerald [[/SIGNED]] John E. Fitzgerald JEF/bm c.c. Peter H. Davidson & Co., Inc. Mrs. Margaret Cornwell
