Dear Mr. Seligmann:

I am glad to hear from you and know that you are back in this country. I shall look forward to seeing your things the next time I come to New York.

Mr. Delbos, I am sorry to say, is not a likely prospect for you. He is a very charming gentleman, but is not in a position to collect important works of art.

Sincerely,
E. P. Richardson
E.P. Richardson,
Assistant Director.

Mr. Rene Seligmann,
3 East 51st Street,
New York City.
