March 3, 1952

My dear Mr. Rockmore:

Following the correspondence I have had with Mr. Robert Lebel of Paris, representing the heirs of the Duc de Trevise, I am sending you herein my firm's check of even date, in the amount of $5,000.-, No. 963 on J.P.MOrgan & Co., Inc, New York, in payment in full for my firm's purchase of the painting by Gericault entitled "La Retraite de Russie".

I understand from Mr. Lebel that you are fully habilitated to receive such payment, acting thus as agent for Mr. Lebel, who in turn I understand has full authority from the heirs of the Duc de Trevise, and who are compensating him.

The painting has been duly delivered to me this day and I appreciate your courtesy and promptness in this matter.

Your acknowledgement of this letter and of the check therein contained would oblige me.

Yours very sincerely,

(Germain Seligman)

Mr. Robert Rockmore
