New York 22,New York November 1, 1966 Dear Mr. Pope-Hennessy: You will not mind, I hope, if I inquire whether you received my letter of September 13th referring to the marble bust ascribed to Vittoria we talked about last Spring? Furthermore, without wishing to seem inquisitive, I would appreciate hearing whether you have given up all interest in this sculpture. I did not go to Europe this Autumn as I had originally contemplated but, as I wrote, were you to go to Munich, I consider that I should post Mr. Heilbronner accordingly. I found his attitude most correct and I would not want him to think that in turn I am being remiss. I feel certain that you will understand my writing in this vein and trusting I may have the pleasure of seeing you over here during this season. With best regards, Sincerely yours, Germain Seligman J.W. Pope-Hennessy, Esq. Keeper Department of Architecture and Sculpture Victoria and Albert Museum South Kensington London S.W. 7 P.S. I have no assurance, of course, that the marble is still available. TP
