November 20, 1930.

Dear Mr. Mellon,

When it was my privilege to call on you last year with Mr. Germain Séligmann, you may remember that you were considering having a portrait - wasn't it of Mrs. Bruce? - made by Harrington Mann. In connection with this I thought you would be interested to know that a very unusual show of Harrington Mann's work is now on at our galleries. The opening was yesterday and it has been found by his friends, as well as the art critics who attended the opening, to be the most representative, beautiful and complete show he has had in this country in a very long time.

The exhibition is going to be on until the sixth of December, and Mr. Mann himself is now, of course, in this country.

Trusting you are enjoying good health and looking forward to soon having the pleasure of seeing you again, I meanwhile remain with my best compliments,

Faithfully yours,

(R. H. Waegen)

Honorable Andrew W. Mellon,
1785 Massachusetts Avenue,
Washington, D. C.
