Dear Dr. Valentiner:

I have been living these past few months in the hope of seeing you here in New York or of my going to Detroit to see you.

Unfortunately neither the one nor the other has happened and I am so disappointed not to have had the pleasure of seeing you yet this season! I do hope that you are enjoying good health and that you do not let yourself be too much influenced and depressed by the gloom which I am sure surrounds you in Detroit, as it surrounds us in New York.

I suppose there is little doing in your museum this season, and it must be hard upon you, who are so active a man, to have to sit down and wait for better times to "let off" some of your enterprising spirit

Do let me have a word from you telling me you are and how you feel, and if you think of coming to New York at all, giving me thus an opportunity of seeing you again.

With kind thoughts,

Believe me to be,

Yours very sincerely,

(Germain Séligmann)

Dr. W. R. Valentiner,
Detroit Institute of Arts,
Detroit, Michigan.
