Dear Mr. Randall;

May I express my very sincere thanks for the Journal of the Walters Art Gallery you were so good as to forward.  So very characteristic of your publications, I found it most interesting, and I greatly admired the thoroughness with which you studies the impressive Flemish altar of your Museum.

It was thoughtful indeed of you to have mentioned my father in connection with it.  I must admit that I had forgotten this pedigree, if ever I knew it, for its purchase by Mr. Walters occurred before my becoming active in the firm.

Writing in this vein,calles to my attention how very long it is since I have had the pleasure of seeing you here, and may I express the hope thatyou will put me down for one of your next visits to New York.

With best regards,

Sincerely yours,

Germain Seligman
