March 24th., 1944. Dear Léger: This letter is just to confirm our conversation of today by which I expressed to you my desire of taking advantage of our arrangement, by purchasing the two "études" for "Les Saltimbanques" instead of some of the drawings and/or gouaches which I purchased from you as per our previous conversations, confirmed by my letter of February 15th. You had given me for these two "études" the prices of Four Hundred ($400.) for the gouache, nd Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250.) for the drawing, which meant that I could purchase them for the sum of Three Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollars ($325.). In exchange, as agreed, I am releasing the two drawings - 7269 "Etude pour'les Plongeurs'" 7270 "Etude pour'les Plongeurs - Baigneuses'" purchased at One Hundred Dollars ($100.) each, and the large gouache - 7263 "Esquisse pour partie d'un projet de tableau 'Les Plongeurs' - non executé" purchased at One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150.). There is, from these figures, a difference of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.) in your favor, which of course, we will forget about. I am putting the following selling prices on these drawings and gouache - they are the ones you quoted me originally, and I surmise they will have your approval: 2 drawings ........... $200. each gouache............. $300. As regards the study for "Les Perroquets", as soon as I will have seen it on Monday, in its new setting, I will give you my decision. I am truly delighted to be the owner of the two studies for "Les Saltimbanques", as I really find them superb! May I ask you to be good enough to let me have the available negatives of the pictures which we will exhibit here, as I want to prepare a certain number of prints, should the Press want some. With best regards, Sincerely yours, (Germain Séligmann) Fernard Léger, Esq., 326 East 42nd. Street, New York 17, New York.
