Dear Sir:

I would be glad to know the subjects, sizes, character and prices of the paintings and drawings referred to in your letter of November 14, though I am pretty sure they will be beyond my reach.  The sums I am able to invest in art these days are rather slender, so it might be as well to restrict your answer to Lautrec. ^[[Have you any of his lithographs?]]

Yours very truly,
