2 If I had continued to live in Philadelphia, I would have continued to be your friend and customer, and you would not have questioned my integrity if I had asked for certifica- tion of the Pippin. However, fate had it otherwise and I moved west. From this distance in time, when I now ask for the document of certi-fication- as a courtesy- you brush aside our years of friend- ship and in a sense, question my integrity in asking for such a document. My brother, Edward Biberman, can vouch for the fact that I've had the Pippin all these years, as can my daughter, other members of my family, as well as my friends. Sending the picture east involved the trouble of crating it, shipping it east and back. I do not so much mind going to that trouble, but I do dislike troubling Milton Laskin. It means we would have to re-pack, re-crate it, and then see that it was called for. I heartily dislike troubling him tO that extent. I am leaving town for a two week vacation September the twelfth and I would like to have this matter settled before I leave. I would appreciate it enormously if you would re-consider your conversation with me, and issue the Certificate of Provenance from the photograph you have of it, and from the point of view of my former friendship, patronage and your belief in my integrity. Please call me as soon as you receive this letter and Just reverse the charges. If you are adamant in your decision that you must see the Pippin, then I will send it to Milton before I leave. I will await your phone call! My warmest regards to both you and Alice and I hope your visit to see your daughter and grandchild was a pleasant one. Cordially, Rhea Wachsman Rhea Wachsman 400 S.
