[[WATERMAK]]MADE IN U.S.A.[[/WATERMARK]] THE MINNEAPOLIS INSTITUE OF ARTS MINNEAPOLIS 4, MINNESOTA Russell A. Plimpton, Director December 22, 1949 Dear Germain: Our exhibition, MASTERPIECES OF SCULPTURE, has closed, and the loans have all been returned. We shipped your Renoir, which we were so sorry we could not keep in Minneapolis, to you on December 16, via Allied Van Lines. As you have agreed, I am taking the Bourdelle home on approval. It is such a good private collector's piece. This letter is to thank you for your generosity in lending two works of such outstanding quality to our exhibition. As you can imagine, they created a great deal of interest. Many thanks again and Merry Christmas! Sincerely, Dick Richard S. Davis Senior Curator RST/mm Mr. Germain SEligman Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. 5 East 57th Street New York 22, New York [[watermark [H]AMMERMILL BOND MADE IN USA]]
