Paris, July 19th 1932

Dear Miss Rouillier,

With Mr. Seligmann, I have been arranging our exhibition schedule for next season, and we have been discussing the possibility of an exhibition in Chicago at your gallery, along the lines of our conversation when we had the pleasure of seeing you during our last visit there.

Inasmuch as we are planning an important exhibition of French water colours and drawings of the 18th, 19ht, and 20th centuries for our New York gallery during the month of December, we would like to plan for this exhibition to run in Chicago during the early part of January, if it could be arranged.

Naturally, all of our plans are being made with the thought in mind that conditions in America will improve after the elections, but if the depression continues, it seems useless to attempt an exhibition at that time, and it would be better to await a more favorable moment to show the extremely interesting group of works that we have tentatively selected.

Would you kindly give us your views on the matter, as we would like very much to cooperate with you, and I feel if we work out our campaign carefully, the exhibition should be mutually profitable.

Our house here will be open during the entire summer, and if you wish to direct any of your clients here, we would be very happy to receive them and your interests would be protected.

Awaiting an early reply, and trusting that you are enjoying the summer, please believe me to be,
Yours very truly,

(James St.L. O'Toole).

Miss Alice Rouillier
CHICAGO.
