Dear Mr. Seligman:

In reference to your letter of November 22, I would welcome the opportunity to see a photograph of the drawing by Johann Arhardt to which you refer.  Unfortunately, because of the commitments we have recently made to secure a considerable number of objects from the collection of our late colleague, Paul Grigaut, it seems unlikely that we will be able to acquire it in the immediate future.  I do not, therefore, feel justified in asking you to give us a reserve on it.

I hope to be in New York at the end of January and will plan to pay you a visit at that time.

Cordially,

Charles H. Sawyer
