New York City

Dear Mr. Seligmann

Thank you very much for your letter.

As a matter of fact I think the price your client asks for the bronze is quite ridiculous and entirely outside the scope of any reasonable value. In my judgement the item is not worth much more than $2,500 at the outside. However, I am not even in a position to make an offer for it at this price.

Yours very truly

Chauncey J. Hamlin
