Dear Mr. Seligman:

I take pleasure in sending you herewith a New York draft, No. S-832, for $12,000.00, in payment of the painting, "Christ at the Column", by Antonello de Messina, which we recently purchased from you.

Allow me to express to you the thanks and appreciation of our board for your cooperation in making it possible for us to have this distinguished picture as part of our permanent collection.

Very truly yours, 
Clyde H. Burroughs
Secretary
