Messrs. Hirshbach &Smith,
2 Stone Street,
New York City.

Dear Sirs:

We have to call on you again about having an examination made for some goods which we received weeks ago per SS "FRANCE" arrived about November 5th, cases G.S. 305 and G.S. 420.

These cases were checked on arrival, but only three pictures contained therein were examined by Mr. McQuestion. The other objects consisting of -- one commode; a pair of candlesticks and three Italian Majolica Plates, have not been examined yet, although we made repeated demands.

We were told that the invoice was charged to Mr. McMullen. We spoke today to Mr. Alexander of the same office and he says they had the invoice some time ago, but passed it on because it was marked "chinaware." He advised us to communicate with you at once to trace the invoice.

As it happens, we sold the two candlesticks and have to deliver them, but can not do so before they are inspected. Evidently, there is some confusion about the invoice and we would ask you to please trace it at one, and also let us know who will have charge of the inspection.

Please do your best to have the inspector come up at the earliest possible moment as this matter is most important to us.

Very truly yours,
JACQUES SELIGMANN & CO., Inc.,
