Salem, N.J. March 1st '28. 

Jacques Seligmann &Co, Inc. 
New York City, N.Y. 

Gentlemen:

Thank you for your letter requesting us to forward to you a photograph of the painting in question. 

We are sending the only negative that we have of the painting and also a tinted photo and I will assure you, neither do justice to the painting, as no special care has been taken in the reproduction.

Please let us know, if you decide to come to Salem, so that I will be here in person, as the portrait is in the vault at the bank and I am expecting to leave some time this month to go over our estates in North Carolina, which probably will take me from Salem for several weeks. 

Thanking you, I am

Very truly yours,
