November 23rd., 1938. Dear Mrs. Pratt: May I thank you for your very prompt reply. If I understand correctly, for some particular reason you do not wish to sell the tapestry this year, but I gather it doesn't preclude your doing so next year. The party for whom I approached you would in no case make a decision in haste, so that the negociations might very well drag through the next few months. However, as long as - in principle - it is your desire to part with the tapestry, at your price, I do think that in your own interest it might be advantageous for you to allow me to talk this matter over with you. You will understand readily, that such a matter could not be carried out in writing. Looking forward to hearing from you, I am, Yours very sincerely, (Germain Séligmann) Mrs. Harold I. Pratt, 58 East 68th. Street, New York, New York.
