- 2 - My letter I am afraid would become too long were I to undertake this now. All I can say is that there are few paintings by DAUMIER which can be placed beside and compared to these two,-in other words there are few paintings of the 19th. century as a whole which in importance and merit equal them, a statement I believe which anyone posted on such subjects would gladly endorse. As I said at the beginning of my letter the conversations I have started with another party have not been concluded yet, but I see no reason why I should postpone further communicating with you. Yours very sincerely, (Germain Seligman) Leigh B. Block 1260 No. Astor St. Chicago Illinois
