Mr. Germain Seligmann,
3 East 51st. St.
New York, N.Y.


Dear Mr. Seligmann:-

In reply to your kind letter of December 6th let me say that I quite understood the stress you were under and am only grateful to you for the information you gave me through Miss Stimson.  I should have waited until a more favorable time to show you the little enamel myself except for my dread of having something happen to it in the meantime.  Now that, after seeing the back you are sure that it is not an early 15th century example as you at first thought likely but an 18th century piece of work I can, with a free conscience have it refastened into its setting and use and enjoy it, instead of locking it up in the Museum collections.
     
I shall look forward with pleasure to seeing your new galleries and hope that we may see you yourself here in Cincinnati again before long.
      
Again thanking you, I remain 
                                 
Very sincerely yours,
Elizabeth R. Kellogg
Librarian.
