August 30, 1951

Ref: BE-70

Dear Sirs:

Referring to your letter of August 17, 1951 you are correct in assuming that at one time we owned a substantial interest in Jacques Seligmann & Fils, [[strikethrough]]the[[/strikethrough]] French corporation which however since has been completely liquidated.

This corporation received in this country its proportionate share of said foreign company, and we therefore confirm our statement of June 16, 1951 to the effect that we own no assets abroad.

Please excuse the delay in our answer which is due to our Galleries' having been closed as usual for the month of August.

[[strikethrough]]Thanking you[[/strikethrough]] 

Yours sincerely,
JACQUES SELIGMANN & CO., INC.
