Mr. R. H. Waegen,
Jacques Seligmann and Company, 
3 East 51st Street, 
New York City.

Dear Mr. Waegen:

Thank you for your letter of March 4.

I wired you on March 9 that we shall be delighted to have the four tapestries of the Achilles series as a loan.

The Van Dyck exhibition will open on April 2 and will continue three weeks. Are these tapestries for sale? How do you wish us to label them, as loaned by the firm, loaned by XXXX, or loaned anonymously?

I find I am too busy just now to contemplate even a short trip to New York.

Thanking you very much for your collaboration, I am

Most sincerely yours,

Adele C. Weibel

Mrs. A. C. Weibel,
Curator of Textiles
