Dear Mr. Seligmann:

No doubt due to the holiday rush the two pictures did not reach us until about two weeks ago. We have now decided to return to you the Fantin Latour and today it is being sent to the packers and will reach you in a week or ten days. We like the Braque very much and our check for $3,400.00 is herewith attached.

The next time we are in New York we will endeavor to spend a little more time with you so that we can see the other things you have.

With best wishes for the New Year,

Yours sincerely,
