[[Personal stationary]] JAMES PARMELEE THE CAUSEWAY, KLINGLE ROAD WASHINGTON, D.C. April 17. 1925 Mr. Clyfford Trevor [[?]]Jacques Seligmann Co. Inc. 705 Fifth Ave. New York My dear Mr. Trevor:- Your courteous letter of the 9th is at hand. My delay in replying to it has been occasioned by a mass of accumulated correspondence. My walls are already so completely filled that it not possible for me to consider any purchases of paintings. I am sure that the portrait must be a very interesting one indeed. I am glad it has been returned to the U.S. and I hope to stay. Thanking you for writing me about it. I am Sincerely yours [Signature]
