My dear Mr. Aldridge:

It is so good of you to have invited Mrs. Seligman and me to the Preview and Dedication of the Kress Wing on November 14th and 15th.

To my chagrin, this will unfortunately not be possible for I will hold, at that time, an important exhibition at my galleries which will prevent my leaving town.

However, I would not want to miss the opportunity I have of writing to congratulate you on having received so magnificent a group of works of art from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. It is a proof of your acumen as Director and of the importance achieved by your Museum under your leadership.

Will you be good enough to convey also our thanks and regrets to the President and the Board of Trustees of the University of Miami, and with best greetings,

Sincerely Yours,

Germain Seligman
