Dear Mr. Seligman:

I was glad to get your letter, and know that you are well again. Your news about the ivory is interesting and also shows that some of our information, which was taken from shipping invoices, is not accurate as to the sources of certain items. That ivory was listed on an invoice from Harding, but what that shows is that Harding shipped items that he had not sold to Mr. Walters.

If you have any additional biography on the mirror, we would naturally love to have it. I also noted, after I wrote you my letter, that the great ivory casket with the 'Castle of Love' as a subject, came from Arnold Seligman Rey and I thought that might be what you were referring to.

In any case, I am glad to have it now straightened out, and look forward to seeing what extra information you have on the mirror back.

With best wishes,

Sincerely,

Richard Randall
