August 17th, 1934.

Dear Dr. Valentiner:

It indeed gave me much pleasure to read news of you and should I not see you in Europe before you sail for America, I am certainly looking forward to meeting you there, as I intend to be in the States sometime at the beginning of October. I do hope that the new arrangement you will reach with the Detroit Institute of arts will be a satisfactory one.

As regards Mr. Sinclair, I can hardly tell you anything - except that he is not a dealer and seems to be a man of wide interests, and I therefore thought that as long as he wanted to have an opinion about two Rembrandts (?), he should immediately be put in touch with you, as, should this man sometime be interested in purchasing good pictures, he might as well - if not a great deal better - be advised by someone of so great a knowledge as your's than to fall in the hands of some petty and ignorant person.

You will find him a very charming and interesting man, but, hardly knowing him myself, I can tell you no more about him.

It is too bad that so many months should elapse without my having an opportunity of seeing you, as the chats I have with you are always such a source of great pleasure and interest to me.

Trusting you are enjoying good health and looking forward to hearing from you soon again, 

Pray believe me to be, as always,
 
Yours most sincerely,

(Germain Seligmann)

Dr. W. R. Valentiner,
Corneliustrasse No.I, 
Berlin.
