Dear Mr. Leger:

As agreed with you, we wish to confirm that we have purchased at the Richard Davis Sale held at the Parke-Bernet Galleries on April 13th, an abstract composition by yourself described as "Nature Morte", dated '28, 36 x 25-1/2 inches, No. 87 of the catalogue, for the sum of $700.00 (seven hundred dollars).

This purchase has been made for your account and you have contributed to it the sum of $350.00 which we already received and hereby acknowledge, and we have advanced to you the remaining sum of $350.00.

Enclosed please find our check on The Fifth Avenue Bank of New York for $50.00 as your check referred to above was made out for $400.00.

For the good order of our records, kindly confirm the above.

Yours very truly,

P.S. We are returning to you herewith your first check drawn on the Guaranty Trust Co. which was made out incorrectly, and for which you have issued a new one.
