THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO December 19, 1956 Dear Germain: Many thanks for your warm telegram. I have been in bed for two months with a nasty kidney infection which went out of control because I have suddenly become immune to anti-biotics. Things seem to be picking up now, and ,while I am somewhat worse for wear, I hope to be back to work soon. Thank you again for your kind message. With the season's best greetings to you and Ethlyn, Very sincerely, [[signature]] Carl O. Schniewind Mr. Germain Seligman 5 East 57th Street New York 22, New York
