Dear Miss Roullier:

Answering your two letters of December 7th, you will find enclosed herewith different letters relating to insurance valuations, shipping instructions, etc., etc.

I am sorry to have delayed writing you until now. As you will see from the dates of the enclosed letters, the correspondence was written but purposely held up as we were most anxious, if possible, and this depended on our subsequent exhibition schedule, to extend the present Gris show for a few days more, as we have several people interested in some of the pictures and you can well understand our desire to conclude certain sales, if possible. In-as-much as in several cases this would only have been a matter of one or two days more, we are now taking the liberty of keeping the pictures here for a few more days and so, I think you may expect all the pictures by the middle of next week.

Regarding your catalogue, it will be perfectly all right to use extracts from ours, with specific reference to the Biographical Notes, Gertrude Stein's Preface and the quoted remakrs of Juan Gris on the first page. Also, you are correct in assuming that where no loans are indicated the picture is ours, and we should prefer it to be listed as such; i. e., Lent by Jacques Seligmann & Co.

With all good wishes and the season's greetings,

Believe me to be

Yours very sincerely,

(Robert M. Levy)
