Arts Commission Edsel B. Ford, President Albert Kahn Robert H. Tannahill Edgar B. Whitcomb Commissioners The Detroit Institute of Arts of the City of Detroit W.R. Valentiner Art Director Clyde H. Burroughs Secretary April 4, 1936. RS My dear Mr. Seligmann: Thank you for sending the interesting reproductions of the stained glass windows intended for the Booth chapel. I shall be glad to talk with Mrs. Booth about it, and I hope she will be interested. However, I should like to say that it would have been better if panels entirely covering the window space could have been found, and also if they were of an earlier period. But I shall be glad to have them, if Mrs. Booth will pay for them. I enjoyed hearing about the purchase of the Gaugin, the Fantin-Latour and the Manet. I shall be glad to speak to my friends about them. I hope to see you early in May before I sail. With kind regards, Sincerely yours, W. R. Valentiner WRV:JH Mr. Jacques Seligmann, 3 East 51st Street, New York City.
