October 14, 1970 Dear Mr. Cecil; How very good of you to have written me at such length and let me thank you most heartily for your very nice lines of October 8th. I have enjoyed much the paper you published on the Fourth Marquess of Hertford, who as you write so pointedly, was really the true founder of the Wallace Collection. I was not aware of the shooting pictures by Decaen and should I admit it, was even ignorant of his name. We learn every day. With reviewed appreciation of your kind thought of me and with warm regards, Sincerely yours, Germain Seligman R. A. Cecil, Esq. The Wallace Collection Manchester Square London W.1. TP
