January the 31. 1962

Dear Mr. Seligmann,

we returned safely to Prien and I am sending you, as I had promised, the photos of the 2 antique bronzes,formerly owned by  our granduncle the late ambassedor Count Frederic Pourtalès. As I told jou my late aunt sold them after the second worldwar to America. If possibly jou are very much interested in them, I could write to my late aunts sister, who lives in America and try to find out, where they are now. But before you write and let me know  I shall do nothing in this matter. 

We were very glad to contact  you and we very much apreciate your friendliness and would be very glad if we could do some dealing with you. 

In the meantime searching for what you are looking for, I found this greek stele in marble from which I am sending you the photo and the copy of the  document. This beautiful piece is in Switzerland.

Please return the photos  of the bronzes,when you are no more in need of them,for they are the only remainders left to us from my uncles beautiful collection.

I hope to hear soon of you

Yours sincerely

Countess Pourtalès
