Dear Mr. Seligman,

Thank you very much for your letter and for sending me all the details you have about the Picasso drawing.

My next task is to find a third person, beside you and Richard Davis who can authenticate this drawing which Zervos has doubted.

So far I have not approached Heinrich Kahnweiler as I have been told he is unwell at the moment, and the same applies to Picasso – I would be very grateful if you have any suggestions as to what I should do now ? Unfortunately, your letter alone will not be sufficient evidence for my friend who is a very well-known collector who wishes to use his collection to make a museum. Understandably he does not want to have anything in this museum without full agreement of its authenticity.

I have sent your letter to my collector friend and am awaiting his reply at the moment.

With many thanks for your help.

Yours sincerely,

[[Signature]]
