March 15th, 1943 My dear Mrs. Hickox: Until the collapse of France I was at the head of our Paris branch. This being my first visit to New York, I am trying to see all the interesting collections. At the very lovely exhibition held at Parke-Bernet I admired your Fragonard, besides which I have on another occasion seen your Mabuse "Man's Portrait". I am wondering therefore if you would permit me to call on you to pay my respects and have an opportunity to see your collection, as I feel certain you must own other interesting paintings. I do hope you will have a few moments to spare for me and that I may have the privilege of meeting you. Very sincerely yours, (Georges E. Seligmann) Mrs. Charles V.
