22, September 29th,
1943

Dear Mr. Milliken:

Your very kind lines of September 28th., have just reached me and I hasten to thank you for them.

Strangely enough I had written you just a few hours before "Life" magazine, with the Cleveland paintings, appeared, and now that I have seen those reproductions I can well understand how disappointed you must have been, as it certainly gives no idea of the richness and importance of your institution.

However, as you so correctly say, it is excellent publicity, and one shouldn't "look a gift horse in the mouth".

I am ever so much obliged to you for Mr. Harrison Tweed's name and shall communicate with him.

I do hope that your trip to New York will not be quite as far distant as you seem to believe, and

With personal regards,
Yours very sincerely,

Germain Seligmann)

William M. Milliken, Esq.,
Cleveland Museum of Art, 
Cleveland 6, Ohio.

Transcription Notes:
It appears the letter to Mr. Milliken is from Mr. Seligmann, so I moved his name up under the closing rather than beside Milliken's info for clarity.
