JO'T:M

March 4th, 1933.

Dear Mr. Boyer,

Supplementing our conversation of yesterday afternoon, we are holding, waiting for your truck to call, the splendid work by ODILON REDON entitled "Vase japonais" that is described on the Memorandum Invoice enclosed. The price of $8,500.- is the very special price made by Mr. Séligmann to Mr. Kimball at the Philadelphia Museum last Spring, and acknowledged by Mr. Kimball in correspondence relative to these negotiations.

It is understood that if the pastel is not sold before the opening of the flower show at the Pennsylvania Museum of Art during the month of April, you will deliver the picture to the Museum, as we have already consented to loan this work at the Exhibition of Flowers in Art.

It was a pleasure to see you yesterday although we regret that you did not have sufficient time to see some of the other very representative works that seem to me to be able to be sold in Philadelphia. However, as you said you would be over again very soon, I am looking forward to your advance information of this visit, so that we can get together for a long time.

Assuring you of our every wish to cooperate with your activities, and with best wishes,

Please believe me to be

Yours very truly,

JACQUES SELIGMANN & CO., Inc.
