Dear Dr. Valentiner,

Many thanks for your kind lines and the very much appreciated certificate of the Cuyp.

What about the certificate for the Mantegna?

I am sending you herewith photograph of the Tintoretto painting which you have asked for. Professor Lionello Venturi wrote us about it and I enclose copy of his letter.

We have in New York the photograph of page 106 of the Inventory of 1652 of the Collection of the Archduke Léopold-Wilhelm; a photograph of the engraving by Hoij; a photograph of the cover and of page 77 of the Catalogue of the Museum of Vienna in 1895; and a photograph of our painting when it was in the Vienna Museum.

Hoping these lines will find you in good health,

Kindly believe me

Yours sincerely,

(René Seligmann)
