SAWYER September 24, 1943. Dear Mr. Seligmann: I want to thank you again for your generosity toward the exhibition for the "Fighting French" to be held here November 24th to 30th. I had intended to speak to you, when I saw you, about a show which we are preparing for February 15th to March 10th of French Genre pictures of the twentieth century. I feel sure that you will have some brilliant suggestions to make for this show, and should be very grateful for them and for your advice about such an exhibition. With renewed thanks, WGRA/C Yours very truly, W. G. Russell Allen Vice President Mr. Germain Seligmann 5 East 57th Street New York, New York.
