29th July.

Dear Mr. Seligmann,

I apologize for the delay in answering your enquiry, but I found your letter waiting for me on my return from abroad.

Without having seen the original it is very difficult indeed to pass any judgement, but with this reservation I would venture to say that the drawing, though quite impressive, does not seem to me a preparatory sketch for the miniature in the Livre des Tournois.  Besides, there has certainly been some retouching of the faces on the right thus making it next to impossible to size up the quality of the original design.  I am returning the photo herewith

Yours sincerely,
