JO'T/M

October 25th, 1933.

Dear Miss Roullier,

As you certainly know, we have loaned to the great Century of Progress Exposition a very fine paiting by FRAGONARD entitled, "Portrait of Hubert Robert", that is to be returned to us immediately after the exhibition closes.

We have written to Mr. Harshe requesting his kindness to give shipping precedence to this painting, as we have actual need for it shortly after the first of the month, and in case the Museum shipping schedule does not permit him to grant our request, would it be possible to have this picture delivered to your galleries, and have your packer rush the shipment to us without delay? Do please let me hear from you regarding this by return mail, so in case Mr. Harshe is unable to favor us, we can make other arrangements.

We will only bother you in this connection in case Mr.Harshe is not able to comply with our request, and I trust it will not inconvenience you.

Have you had any further interest in any of the works we have on exhibition there, or is there any information that I could forward to you that might assist you in closing a sale?

I trust you find Chicago more prosperous every day, and that you will have some good news for us very soon.

With very best regards, please belive me

Yours sincerely,
(James St.L. O'Toole)
