Dear Miss Lamb:

I appreciate your very kind answer to my letter, and hasten to add that you should have no qualms about a belated reply.

As regards your Segonzac wash drawing, I am indeed sorry it has not lived up in time to your expectations, but I should like to emphasize two points in connection with it.

We, of course, persist in feeling that Segonzac is one of the most charming and original artists of today, and have absolute faith in the soundness of his painting and drawing. Secondly, we not only wish to sell our clients irreproachable works of art, but we should also like to have these things in their homes as a means of continual enjoyment and pleasure. 

One of our surest signs of a collector's taste is a "changing eye" - that is, a taste for fine things which supplants any work of art by something of greater quality. therefore, if at any time, you feel you should like to exchange your Segonzac for anything in our stock of a more important nature, I should be very pleased to have you do so.

Incidentally, we are having a superb exhibition of French drawings and water-colors of the 19th and 20th Centuries, lasting until the end of the month. If you are in New York during this time, I think you would enjoy seeing this exhibition and perhaps you might find something here which you liked.

With my sincerest regards and good wishes, I am

(ROBERT M. LEVY)
