^[[checkmark]] CT:SM March 22, 1934 J.S. Phipps, Esq. 1 Sutton Place, South New York City Dear Mr. Phipps: Referring to your visit to our Galleries some months ago, when I showed you some 18th Century paintings, I am writing you these few lines to tell you that I have just returned from England, and, while I was over there, we acquired three very important 18th Century English portraits. One being a superb women's portrait by Sir Henry Raeburn. The second, a marvelously painted portrait of the first Earl of Guilford, by Gainsborough. And the third, a very fine and typical portrait of a British Officer in a blue and red uniform by Romney. Knowing that you are interested in paintings of this period, I thought perhaps you might care to come in and see them. Awaiting therefore, the pleasure of your visit believe me to be, Yours very truly, JACQUES SELIGMANN & CO., INC (Clyfford Trevor)
