September 13, 1939

Messrs. Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc.
3 East 51st Street
New York, N.Y.

Gentlemen:

Through this I want to inform you that according to the agreement with all former partners of A. S. Drey, the half shares of that firm in the following objects have been transferred to me personally:

½ Share in Marble Sculpture, Madonna and Child enthroned with Angels, North Italian, dated 1321;

½ Share in Deruta Plate, centre head of a Warrior.

I should be obliged for your acknowledgement.

Yours very truly,
Paul Drey

P.S.- As I have shown the above-mentioned Marble Sculpture for two seasons now without success, I suggest that you exhibit it in your premises for a time, as I have in fact this season no suitable place for the sculpture available.
