Mr. Cesar M. de Hauke
Five East 57th Street
New York City, New York

Dear Mr. de Hauke:

We have a call for a painting by Edgar Degas. We know that you are the owner of a painting by this artist and that you are interested in this school.

Would you consider selling yours, and if so what price would you want for it? Also, if you have a photograph of the work, we would like very much to see it.

If you have any other painting that you would care to dispose of, we should be very pleased to have you tell us about them.

Hoping I may hear from you at your earliest convenience, I am,

Very truly yours,
