Dear Arthur:

You will not be surprised if I tell you that I have been greatly distressed to hear your comments this morning over the telephone, and do hope you will find out in due time that you are under a very serious misapprehension as far as I am concerned.

In fact I am rather surprised that after having known me for so many years you should have so lightly jumped at conclusions, without even having given me a chance to talk to you.

However, the purpose of my telephone call of today was about your painting by Titian "The Adoration" and in connection with certain negotiations I had undertaken in the past, as you will recall.

You did not have me a chance to tell you this, hence these lines to let you know.

Yours very sincerely,

(Germain Segliman)

Mr. Arthur Sachs
