My dear Mr. Seligmann:

Thank you for your kind letter.

From your description the painting by Ingres must be remarkable and I should like to see a photograph of it. We are still in the same unfortunate state of being unable to make any purchases, except for very small amounts, but I shall do what I can to interest some friends in going to see the picture in your gallery.

With kindest regards to you and Germain, from whom I had a charming letter the other day,

Sincerely yours,
W.R. Valentiner
