May 7, 1962 Sir, I was recently told that though you had retired from business and given up your place in Grafton Street, you still had an important collection. If I understood correctly, you own some important bronzes, as well as Renaissance jewels. Being much interested in such works of art, may I take the liberty of inquiring whether this hearsay is correct, and in the affirmative whether you would consider parting with any of them. I expect to be in London within the next couple of weeks and, in order to plan my stay accordingly, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you in this respect. Thanking you in advance for your kind answer, Yours very sincerely, Germain Seligman Mr. NYBURG The Old House Aldbourne N. Marlborough Wiltshire ^[[rs]] ^[[Nyburg]]
