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
