PARKER, PRESIDENT 7917 GIRARD AVENUE LA JOLLA, CALIFORNIA THE PUTNAM FOUNDATION A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION SAN DIEGO, CALIF. TELEPHONE BELMONT 3-7323 LA JOLLA, CALIF. TELEPHONE GLENCOURT 4-4321 July 20, 1955. Germain Seligman, Jacques Seligmann & Co. Inc., 5 East 57th St., New York 22, N.Y. Dear Mr. Seligman: Thank you for your letter of July 12th, which I found on my desk upon my return from vacation. Congratulations on the sale of the Vermeer and I was wondering who Mr. Charles B. Wrightsman is. Is he an art collector as an individual or does he buy to make a gift to some institution, and this isn't for the purpose of making any plea to him, because we are independent in that respect. I was forced to return early to San Diego because of sickness but I will be on again shortly and I will let you know when I will be there. With kindest regards, I am Yours very truly, F.S.
