Dear Mr. Seligmann, 

With regard to your last letter, I will try to induce Mr. Mathey to write a more detailed article on the early Watteau. I had the intention to do it, when I got his offprint. But as he is a connoisseur and not a writer, I don't know how far I will succeed. I can only mention this point when I meet Mr. Mathey again. That may be some time this winter.

What regards an expertise, I feel certain difficulties to ask him for somebody unknown, who did not buy the picture from me. One day he will surely know, that the expertise is for you.

Yours sincerely,

Edmund Schilling
