March 27th, 1956 Dear Mr. Baderou: Yesterday, upon receipt of your interesting letter of March 24th, I immediately abided by your suggestion and cabled you as follows: MERCI LETTRE VINGTQUATRE STOP. PRIEZ URGENCE VOTRE INTERMEDIARE ADVISOR CAILLEUX SON CLIENT SE DESINTERESSE TABLEAU STOP JE CONTACTERAI DIRECTEMENT CAILLEUX.SALUTATIONS. SALIGMAN Subsequently, I also cabled Cailleux and am now awaiting his answer. He is of course entitled to a profit and even a large one if he so wishes, and I would certainly not begrudge him this but obviously there are limits to the price I can pay for this painting. With renewed thanks for your kind efforts in my behalf and with [[ strikethrough]] ?[[/strikethrough]] greetings, Sincerely yours, Germain Seligman Mr. H. Baderou, 25 rue du Faubourg St. Honore, Paris, France [[initials]]
