MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS BOSTON 15 DEPARTMENT OF PRINTS December 14, 1949 Mr. Germain Seligman 5 East 57th Street New York 22 Dear Mr. Seligman: I received the photographs of the drawings, you were good enough to send last week: I also have talked to several of our trustees about the Watteau; with a little result I fear. There is a building problem afoot to add part of a wing for a newly acquired collection of American paintings. That project reduces the money available for purchase and so , for the time being, I think I am stymied. I shall still come to see you from time to time, if I may, because sooner or later we will have a drawing fund. I am returning your photographs. Yours very truly, Henry P. Rossiter Curator.
