Dear Germain:

I have studied the Le Brun and talked with the Chairman of our Collections Committee about it. It certainly is a handsome picture and one which would be most appropriate in our collection. On the other hand, we do have certain things under consideration which seem more desirable, particularly pricewise. For this reason, we have decided against the Le Brun, and I am therefore returning registered mail the brochure and the transparency which you left with me. 

It was nice to see you here. We are now swamped with "Whistler's Mother".

With all good wishes and renewed thanks. 

Very sincerely yours, 
Charlie
