LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART 5905 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90036 Telephone 937-4250 18 August 1972 Mr. Jacques Seligmann 5 East 57th Street New York, New York 10022 Dear Mr. Seligmann: We own a Taunay painting, Landscape with Aqueduct, which was given us in 1958 by Judge and Mrs. Lucius Green. It has an old label of the Houston Museum on the back indicating that it once belonged to someone named "Seligman". I wonder if the picture may have been yours and, if so, if you could tell me when and from whom you acquired it and when and to whom you sold it. Whatever else you may be able to tell me of the history of its ownership and exhibition will be most helpful. Thank you. Sincerely, Charles Millard Charles W.
