Mr. René Seligmann,
Jacques Seligmann and Company, 
3 East 51st Street, 
New York City.

Dear Mr. Seligmann:

I found your interesting letter after my return from Indianapolis, and I wish we were in a position to bring some of those wonderful marbles to Detroit.

I think the best way is for you to write directly to the collectors here in town who might be interested.

With kind regards,

Sincerely yours,  
W. R. Valentiner

Ich glaube können, dass 
Mr. Ford momentan geneigt 
ist soviel auszugeben. Es wäre 
aber sehr nett, wenn Sie ihn 
benachrichtigten. Herzlichen Gruss!
