NATHANIEL SOIFER & ASSOCIATES, Philadelphia Drive at Hillcrest Avenue, Dayton, Ohio 45406 Nathaniel Soifer, M.D. Nicolo Mileti, M.D. Blaine L. Block, M.D. June 23, 1970 Jacques Seligmann & Co, Inc. 5 East 57th Street New York, N.Y. 10022 Gentlemen: In March, 1961, I purchased from you "The Halberdier", an oil on canvas by Simon Vouet, size 41" x 32-3/8". I am enclosing a copy of your description of oil. I am lead to believe that this painting has appreciated in value since 1961 and I am under-insured. I have it in my home. Could you, or would you be good enough to give me a fair market value for insurance purposes on this painting? If you are not able to can you tell me whom I might contact for an appraisal so that it may be insured for an adequate amount? Many thanks for your kindness and courtesies. Sincerely, Nathaniel Soifer Nathaniel Soifer, M.D. NS/eo'g Enclosure
