[[preprinted]] Fiche to: [[/preprinted]] Mr. Jucker [[handwritten initials WJ]] Mr. Trevor [[preprinted]] Dictated by: [[/preprinted]] Mr. Waegen [[checkmark]] [[preprinted]] Date: [[/preprinted]] April 24th, 1931. Another important pending matter is Mr. HEARST, whose arrival in New York is still indefinite, due to another picture of Miss Marion Davies. For your information, I am showing you the correspondence with Mr. Hearst, which you will kindly initial and return to Miss Petersen, so you will be fully posted on what I have done. Should Mr. Hearst arrive after my departure, would one of you be good enough to communicate with his secretary, Col. Willicombe, tel: DryDock 4-8000, and ask when Mr. Hearst could pay us a visit to show him these different items. ^[[Cu-7-2185-]] As you know, Mr. Hearst last year was very much interested in our fine Romney portrait of Mrs. Methuen, on which I quoted him $100,000.-. He wanted very much to have Miss Davies see this picture and then wanted to know our lowest price. I would suggest if there is an opportunity to show Mr. Hearst this painting again, to offer it to him around $70,000.-, mentioning that we have purchased this picture in a lot with two other pictures, which meanwhile were sold, so we can make him a more advantageous price. Kindly keep me posted in Europe as to what transpires in this matter. [[handwritten]] Bed: Price quoted $15,000.
