February 15th, 1935.

Jacques Seligmann & Company,
3 East 51st Street,
New York City.

Dear Mr. Seligmann:

I received a cable from Paris telling me that the owner of the Fragonard had died, and that the estate had to be settled. Under these conditions I was told not to sell the Fragonard painting, and to report to Paris before doing anything on this matter. In this case kindly let me know if you have somebody really interested in this painting, and I will communicate at once with the lawyer of the estate in Paris.

Believe me,

Yours very sincerely,

Edouard Jonas
