^[[checkmark]] [[preprinted]] J. Chenue TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS "CHENUEMENT-LONDON" TELEPHONE, TEMPLE BAR 8780. 10. Great St. Andrew Street, Shaftesbury Avenue, London, [[stamped]] 17th January 1936. [[/stamped]] 193 W.C.2. [[/preprinted]] Messrs Jacques Seligmann & Co Inc., 3 East 51st Street, NEW YORK. Gentlemen, In reply to yours of the 8th inst., regarding the picture by Lawrence "Lady Lovat", the restoration is only just completed and I am collecting the picture to-day. I propose to ship same by the S.S. "American Banker" sailing from London Saturday next 25th inst., Owing to the high value ^[[X bracket]] I take it you would not wish me to ship by the mid-week boat the S.S. "Berengaria" as the freight charges alone by this boat would cost about £36. Awaiting your further esteemed wishes, I beg to remain, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, ^[[J Chenue P.S. The picture has just been brought in [[and?]] is still very sticky. It will therefore not be hardened [[and?]] dry enough for packing for a few days, but it will be shipped as above.]]
