Mr. Germain Seligmann    Nov. 16, 1936
3 East 51 St.
New York City

Dear Mr. Seligmann: 

Before leaving Paris I dropped into your office and reported to Mr. George Seligmann the results of my interview with Mr. Greber which you had so kindly arranged.  I also gave Design Associates a detailed account of my meeting with the request that they report it to you upon your arrival in the states.  I see from the papers that Mr.Greber is at present in America in connection with plans both for the Paris Exposition 1937 and the New York Worlds Fair.  As I have no doubt that you will see Mr. Greber- I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm my opinion that Design Associates and myself should be retained for the supervision and development of the decorative and architectural details in connection with the Pavillon des Etats-Unis-contracts for which had just been signed when I saw Mr. Greber.  At that time no very definite plans had yet been formed and Mr. Greber referred me to Mr. Watson of International Business Machines and Mr. Cartier who are heading the American committee.

I will be in New York over Thanksgiving and am looking forward to seeing you then and discussing this.  In the meantime, I remain

Sincerely yours,
Peter Müller-Munk
