November 4, 1952 Dear Henry: Thanks for your good lines of October 25, which I shall only answer in part today. I truly feel very badly about not having given you earlier an answer to the matter of exhibiting the manuscripts in your museum. I realize that my procrastination is almost a subconscious desire of postponing the issue. The truth is that having told a good many people that the exhibition being just the beginning, so to say, of the period during which these manuscripts would remain in my custody, I find it difficult now to tell them that they will be gone for another exhibition out of town. Do you believe that Mr. W.M. Milliken would mind very much if we left the matter in abeyance so that we could take it up anew in a couple of months, at which time I should have a more definite opinion of the possibilities in this field? With best regards, Sincerely yours, (Germain Seligman) Mr. Henry S. Francis The Cleveland Museum of Art Cleveland 6, Ohio
