Dear Miss Mongan:

I am rushing off these lines to apologize for a typing mistake which slipped into my letter of April 24th., and which was only now called to my attention. 

As regards the sanguine drawing by WATTEAU:

the Plate 60 referred to is not in K.T. Parker's book on "The Drawings of Antoine Watteau", but in "Old Master Drawings" a quarterly which, as is well known to you, was edited by K.T. Parker, and in which on Page 57, and reproduced Plate 60, you will find the description of this drawing and signed by K. T. Parker, whereas some of the other drawings are described by other art historians. 

You may find this correction of little moment though you might have looked in the book on the drawings of Watteau under my reference and been surprised not to find the reproduction, hence my haste in mentioning this error, which  I hope you will excuse,

Yours very sincerely, 

(Germain Seligman)
