Dear Dr. Barnes,

May I take the liberty to ask you if you would be kind enough to send me a good photograph of the picture by SEURAT, "Les poseuses" which is in your Collection?

I am working on a complete catalogue of the works of this artist, and I have been unable to get any good photographs of the picture in order to reproduce it in this catalogue.

If you would also allow me to study the picture, I would be extremely grateful and I could go to Merion whenever convenient to you.

Hoping to have the privilege of your answer, believe me to be

Yours respectfully,

(C. M. de Hauke)

Dr. A. C. Barnes,
Merion, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.
