C CT/LM January 8th, 1928. Professor Alfred Chatain, c/o Rev. George [[??]]. Eccles, Bullard Place, Flushing, L. I. Dear Professor Chatain : I was very sorry that I had to leave you when you were here yesterday, but as it happened a client of mine came in whom I had to see, and by the time I was through with her, you had already left. I hope, therefore, you will excuse me for having left you so abruptly. As a matter of fact, I particularly wanted to show you a very wonderful three quarter length Van Dyck, which was painted during the artist's Genoese period. It is such an important and fine example that I am particularly anxious for you to see it. Therefore, I hope you will be able to find time to call in here again before you leave for Chicago. With kindest regards, believe me to be, Yours sincerely, JACQUES SELIGMANN & CO., Inc., By,
