THE WALLACE COLLECTION
MANCHESTER SQUARE
LONDON, W.1

17th May, 1950

My dear Monsieur Seligman,

I am exceedingly grateful for the second photograph of the Tocqué portrait of the Duc de Chartres which you sent me. It is a considerable improvement on the first one, but unfortunately The Burlington Magazine have had to use the latter for their reproduction. I would be very grateful if you could let me know by return the measurements of this picture in centimetres, as they are required to go beneath the reproduction in The Burlington Magazine. To be of any value, I would have to have this at the earliest possible moment.

With again many thanks for all your kindness,
I am,
Yours sincerely,
R. A. Cecil
Assistant to the Director

Monsieur Germain Seligman,
Jacques Seligman & Co., Inc.,
5 East 57th Street,
New York 22, U.S.A.
