January 4, 1925.

My dear Mr. Trevor,

Yours of the 29th is at hand. An accumulated correspondence delayed my reply. Please pardon me. 

It will give me real pleasure to see you when you are in Washington, also to show you our home. Please call me by telephone - Cleveland 902, and I hope I may be in the City.

I met Mr. Seligmann one day not long ago at the Corcoran Gallery, and had a few words with him. I knew his father slightly. You are with excellent people and I trust you find your association quite congenial.

Very truly yours

James Parmelee

Transcription Notes:
The first word of the letter is hard to make out. If you examine it closely, it matches forms of 'you' in other parts of the letter. There are several more scribbles which could be an r and s. "Yours of the 29th is at hand" could be a play on "your day is at hand." The Corcoran School of the Arts & Design at GW is a museum in D.C. There is a pen mark that passes through the C that is likely accidental. Another transcriber was unsure of "Cleveland." James Parmelee was president of Cleveland General Electric Company so it makes sense for the number.
