February 6th, 1974

Dear Julius;

How good of you it was to answer me in such detail and let me thank you for your good letter of February 6th. 

First, I do wish to applogize for the error made by my secretary as regards the stamp - there being no plane between New York and Bennington, it was evidently the envelope itself which got penalized. - rather strange. 

Your information about the Pittsburgh Museum, if disappointing, is nevertheless quite useful, and I shall try to interest Mr. Arkus in some of the drawings faute de mieux.

Owning one of the most attractive paintings by VOUET it is curious that they should not care to build up further this period of art.

Of course the splendid news you impart is about Pim being able to walk now without support and please be good enough to convey to her my congratulations on this result of her great patience and courage, and my very best wishes.

Your teaching at Williams is good news for it is such an attractive city, but how cold it must be at present.

With kindest thoughts from us both,

Yours,

Germain Seligman
