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

My dear Mr. Seligmann:            205-865

This is to acknowledge our returned appeal and your accompanying notation.  In this connection may we explain that the check received from Jacques Seligmann & Company was in payment of the regular annual membership subscription of your firm for the year 1930, whereas our appeal was to you personally, asking if you would be good enough to repeat the special donation of $50 with which you kindly favored Federation in 1928, in addition to the firm's subscription. 

Our situation at the present time is a very serious one as we have not yet raised sufficient funds to eliminate the 1929 deficit, and for the first time in Federation's history we have been compelled to extend our campaign into the current year, in order that the funds required to meet our last year's budgetary obligations to our ninety-one institutions may be secured.

We know that with these facts in mind it will be your pleasure to respond to our appeal if at all possible, and we desire to take this opportunity to extend hearty appreciation for your valued interest in the work of our organization and its ninety-one constituent institutions.

Sincerely yours,
F E D E R A T I O N
