April 25, 1929.

Messrs. Jacques Seligmann & Co.,
3 East 51st Street,
New York City.

Gentlemen:-

As an example of the care with which we endeavor to look after the interest of our members, we desire to call attention to the following.

The North Atlantic Shipping Conference has in contemplation the following change in rates:-

Paintings are to be charged at the rate of $10.00 per cubic foot with a minimum charge of $60.00, an obviously arbitrary and unfair rate.

We would earnestly recommend that you write a letter of protest to - 

^[[bracket to left of paragraph]]
Mr. J. Sinclair, Chairman,
North Atlantic U. K. Conference,
10 Bridge Street,
New York City [[/bracket]]

protesting against this charge insofar as it affects your interests. Should you desire to send us a duplicate copy of your letter to be placed with those of our other protestants and for the codifying of further effort, we would be very glad to have you do so.

Very truly yours,
[[signed]] W Frank Purdy [[/signed]]
