COLLEGE ART ASSOCIATION
20 WEST 58TH STREET
NEW YORK CITY

May 28, 1931

Mr. Jacques Seligmann
3 East 51st Street
New York City

Dear Mr. Seligmann:

The College Art Association is sponsoring a series of traveling exhibitions of which schedule is attached. It is in connection with Exhibition #12, which has been marked on this schedule, that I am writing you. You will note that this exhibition is being assembled by Dr. Valentiner and that he is preparing the catalogue for it. It is the most important exhibition on the program of the Association, and will be shown at the following museums during 1931-32: Detroit Institute of Arts, Toledo Museum of Art, City of Art Museum of St. Louis, Baltimore Museum, Dayton Art Institute, and the Germanic Museum.

Dr. Valentiner has suggested that I write and ask if you will lend to this exhibition a painting by Judith de Leyster. I am hoping that you will be able to make this loan as this is one of the most important exhibitions of Dutch painting that will have been shown in this country. Its purpose is to heighten the interest in XVIIth Century Dutch painting and we are sparing no effect to make this an outstanding one, and we have received several examples which will aid materially in making this exhibition one of the foremost exhibitions this season.
Sincerely yours,
Audrey McMahon
Director of Traveling Exhibitions
