GIMPEL FILS OLD MASTERS AND CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS TEL. MAYFAIR 3720 84 DUKE STREET GROSVENOR SQUARE LONDON, W.I Nov. 17th 1947 Dear Mr. Seligman Thank you for you letter of November 11th. I am sorry the Germain, your cousin was unable to visit us but perhaps we will see him next year. I will write to you in about ten days or a fortnight about the Degas as I have to get a "first refusal" answer from the American client who has been considering the picture for the last three months. As soon as I receive an answer from him I will advise you, and if he definitely rejects the picture we can enter into negotiation with your firm. Yours sincerely P. Gimpel Peter Gimpel Georges E. Seligman Esq Jacques Seligman & Co Inc. 5 East 57th Street New-York
