Dear William:

Upon my return to town a few days ago I found the statement you had been so good as to write on the Giovanni da Bologna "Cupid", and do accept my very best thanks.

Indeed it is perfect and I am much obligated to you for your kindness.

I truly think it is sufficient and as long as you write that the amount I sent you previously satisfies you I shall do no more, lest I might embarrass you. I hope therefore that it is not an excess of modesty that prompted you to write in this vein.

Unexpectedly I have to go anew to Europe and am leaving at the end of this week, but for a couple weeks.

I am just writing you in case you should be coming to New York, as I [[strikethrough]] will [[/strikethrough]] would be greatly disappointed to miss you here, and do hope I shall see you later this autumn on your visit East.

Meanwhile, with best wishes and renewed thanks,

Sincerely yours,

(Germain Seligman)
