Mr. Germain Séligmann
5 East 57th Street,
New York, N.Y .

My dear Mr. Séligmann:

We acknowledge receipt of your letters of May 25th and May 27th and June 3rd, and are pleased to note therein that you have procured for us the loans of - 

   2 Drawings by Roger de la Fresnaye -  Los Angeles Museum.

   "Diabolo" -   -  Anonymous Loan.

We are now writing letters to the lenders officially asking them for their loans, and attach hereto a list of them as given by you to us from time to time.  We note that Mrs. Charles H. Russell will lend us "La Bouteille", but we do not have her address so are unable to write her direct.  We had already written and confirmed Mr. Chester Dale's loans.

I am sorry you could not visit the club while the exhibition season was on - particularly in the month of May, as the galleries looked particularly well this past month.  The club is now closing for the summer on June 15th and should you come to Chicago during the summer, I will give you my business address in case you might wish to see me.  It is -  1127 W. Division Street, Chicago - Telephone MOHawk 5505.

With my warm thanks for your active cooperation and interest in our de la FRESNAYE show for next December, I am

Very sincerely yours,
^[[Wm Eisendrath]]
