[[line]] 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]] Harry Fischer [[Bottom right]] [[preprinted]] Associated Galleries New York: 41 East 57th St. Rome: Via Gregoriana 5 [[/preprinted]] [[/bottom right]]
