Mr. Germain Seligmann
3 East 51st Street
New York, N. Y.

My dear Mr. Seligmann,

Mr. Dereppe has just come in to see me, and he feels that you were rather upset in regard to the Stuart paintings. At the time that you were in Europe, I wrote and said that the paintings were hanging in the home of one of my clients.

I seldom take out a painting that I do not sell, but again, I have had an inquiry about these portraits. I shall not send for them unless it is an absolutely sure sale. Therefore, I shall work further with the photographs and with Park's book.

I shall let you know one way or the other as soon as I receive any news.

Sincerely yours,

By [[signed]]Giovanni Castano.[[/signed]]
