Dear Mr. Seligmann,

In reply to your letter of 19th inst. we herewith have the pleasure to inform you, that we forwarded to-day under separate cover ( as printed matter ) a photograph of our picture by Jacques Louis David. It is painted on canvas h. 122 cent. w. 96 cent. (48" x 38"). This beautiful, vivid and charming sketch is painted in a red tone. All experts admire it and Mr. Sterling of the Louvre Museum in Paris, who saw it here some days ago, is enthusiast about this painting and in his opinion it ought to be acquired by a French Museum! Formerly it belonged to a private collection in Bordeaux.

The price, without engagement, is f 40.000.-. 
Awaiting your news, we are Dear Mr. Seligmann, 
Faithfully yours

P.S. As we promised to Mr.de Hauke to keep him informed in case we have something interesting we now can tell you that we can show you two fine landscapes by Van Gogh.
 
They are extra-ordinary beautiful and were never in the trade (from a private collection in Holland). We advise you to come soon.
