The Akron Art Institute Leroy W. Flint, Director May 18, 1965 Mr. Germain Seligman Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. 5 East 57th street New York 22, New York Dear Germain: I'm delighted to tell you that the Akron Art Institute wishes to add to its collection the Claude Lefebvre "Portrait of a Magistrate". It is our understanding that our price will be $6,300. which conforms to the percentage offered in your letter of December 15, 1964. (That is, $7,000. less 10%.) Our trustees have requested that we be able to postpone payment until after July 1, 1965 in order not to lose interest on the amount which is presently in a savings account. We hope that this will not be an inconvenience to you. The Millet will be returned to you as soon as we can get it packed. You have been very kind and patient with us and we deeply appreciate it. With my warmest personal thanks and best wishes. Sincerely, Roy Leroy Flint Director LF:sw 69 East Market Street Akron, Ohio 44308 Telephone 376-9185 Area code 216 Aok- cc GS Paris 5/21 p.7
