[[preprinted]] TREASURY DEPARTMENT INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CHICAGO 4, ILL [[image: circular logo depicting a set of scales above a key surrounded by a laurel wreath]] OFFICE OF THE COLLECTOR FIRST DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS IN REPLYING REFER TO [[/preprinted]] Capt. Germain Seligmann, % Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., 5 East 57th Street New York, N.Y. 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, [[signed]] Carter H. Harrison [[/signed]] Carter H. Harrison. (Home address - Parkway Hotel, 2100 Lincoln Park West, Chicago, Illinois.)
