My dear Mr. Dillman:

After we left Palm Beach, we took a motor trip through Aiken, White Sulphuric, etc.,— we went through floods and finally reached New York. This is the reason why I didn’t write you sooner to thank you for having allowed me to see your house. I have been raving about it ever since, and I think it is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen. One side looks like a garden in Egypt, and the other side like a palace in Sorrento.

I am sorry I didn’t have the opportunity to see you again, but I hope I shall see you in New York before I sail. As I am not leaving for Europe until early in June, I shall probably be in Detroit sometime in May. I hope you will be there at the same time.

May I add that Mrs. Seligmann and myself enjoyed the Russian Ballet extremely, and I learned with great pleasure through Mrs. Fatio that you raised a substantial sum for the hospital. 

Please convey my thanks to Mrs. Dillman. Trusting these lines find you both in good health

Believe me

Sincerely yours,

(Rene Seligmann)
