December 15th., 1937. Dear Mr. Southam: Upon my return to New York, I hasten to send you these few lines to tell you how much I appreciated the delightful hospitality you offered me. My trip to Ottawa remains an extremely pleasant memory and is centered around your attractive home, your two daughters - who were such charming hostesses - and your beautiful paintings: I enjoyed so much the interesting chat I had with you and your keen love of art made it such an harmonious and pleasant visit. May I also congratulate you in your capacity of President of the National Gallery of Canada? I hope you will not fail to let me know when you are coming to New York, and please remind your daughters that I am looking forward to entertaining them in this great city. With personal regards, Believe me to be, Yours very sincerely, (Germain Seligamann) H.S. Southam, Esq., "Casa Loma" Rockeliffe, Ottawa.
