August 2nd., 1954.

Dear Mr. Bywaters:

As Mr. Selignen[[?]] will be in Europe for the Summer, I shall answer your letter of the subject of your Fall exhibition.

The beautiful Ingres "Contese de la Rue" about which you inquire is now in one of the great collections abroad, and thus, regrettably, not available for exhibition.

I cannot think of any painting we have at the moment which would particularly fit into your theme, but should there be one among the new purchases Mr. Selingnen[[?]] has made and which will reach the gallery in September, I shall write you and enclose a photograph.

Yours very sincerely,

Mrs. T.D. Parker.

Mr. Jerry Bywaters,
The Dallas Museum of Fine Arts,
Fair Park,
Dallas 10,
Texas.
