March 18, 1957 Dear Dr. Schilling, Your good lines of February 7th, only reached me a few days ago and I hasten to thank you for your kind thoughts of me. I am of course delighted to hear of Mr. J. Mathey's intention of publishing a third volume containing early paintings by Watteau with reproductions. From all angles such a work would be of considerable interest, and I do hope that he will be able to carry out this project. I have not yet seen the first volume on the drawings but from all reports, I understand that it is a corpus of true magnitude. Answering your query I shall not be in Europe before the beginning of May at which time I understand you will be back in London when I shall be looking forward to seeing you again. With renewed thanks and personal regards, Sincerely yours, Germain Seligman Dr. Edmond Schilling 69 Highview Gardens, Edgware, Middlesex ENGLAND TP
