Dear Mrs. Kelley:

On December 1st the most important auction of the season, of French 18th Century works of art, will take place in Paris, at the Georges Petit Galleries.

It is the sale of Mr. George Blumenthal's collection, coming from his Paris residence, which he gave up last year. As you undoubtedly know, Mr. Blumenthal has been one of the outstanding collectors of works of art for many  years and he is likewise a Trustee of the Metropolitan Museum. 

Inasmuch as the greater part of this collection originally came from our firm, we are in a position to give you any information you might want about it. In view of present conditions there is a possibilit that there may be a number of bargains to be had at this sale and if you re at all interested in any of the items, we would be pleased to let you see the catalogue and we could instruct our Paris house to bid anything for you, for which service we would charge no commission.

Awaiting, therefore, the pleasure of hearing from you, believe us to be

Yours very truly,

JACQUES SELIGMANN & COMPANY, Inc.  


Mrs. Cornelius F. Kelley,
907 Fifth Avenue,
New York City.
