July 24th., 1937. Dear Carl: I am in receipt of your good lines of July 22nd., from Bale, and am sending you herein, copy of the letter I am writing to the Neupert Gallery in Zurich, which tells you the story. I purposely didn't mention names such as Raphael and Antonello, but you will know what I am referring to. The so-called Raphael, from the information I got, is supposed to have been recognized as such by Adolfo Venturi, Suida, Fiocco, Voss and Gluck. The price mentioned is Swiss Fcs. 1,000,000. The Antonello, as much as I understand, has not been recognized as such by anyone. I shall try to see this Antonello myself in Milan, where I shall be around the 4th., and then you may have a chance to look at it also around the 15th., as you write. I saw Roland yesterday and I surmise he is going to write to you not only about these two paintings but also about another matter which to me seems highly interesting. With all good wishes for a pleasant stay and rest in St. Moritz, and asking you to kindly remember me to your dear wife, I am, Yours very sincerely, (Germain Seligmann) Charles R. Henschel, Esq., Kulm Hotel, St. Moritz, Engadine, Switzerland.
