LUDWIG ROSENTHAL

Montreal, December 17th 1937.
Appartment 14
2156 Sherbrooke Street West.

Robert M. Levy, Esq.,
c/o Jacques Séligmann & Co. Inc.,
3 East 51st Street
New York.

Dear Mr. Levy:

To-day at noon I received your letter of December 16th, and I thank you for the very careful and detailed way in which you have gone into the matter.

While there are various points in your letter with which I am in perfect agreement, there are others, such as the question of the invoicing and insurance which need further correspondence. Especially the fact that you require a written certificate from Lloyds entails a considerable delay, probably until the beginning of January.

I shall reply to your letter in detail to-morrow, but in view of the inevitable delay I wish to retain my freedom of action until we have come to terms. I beg you once more until then to consider this correspondence and the whole matter as absolutely confidential. This applies also to the notes and copies about my previous negotiations which I sent you for your own personal use. Please return these to me immediately after you have made your notes from them, as I have no extra copies for my files.

I thank you once more for the great care and attention you are paying to this matter and I hope that in one way or the other you may in time derive some satisfaction from this rather complicated affair.

Yours very sincerely,

L Rosenthal
