Dear Germain:

Both Phyllis and I think that it is the best watercolor by Gericault which we have ever seen on the market. Consequently, we have decided to purchase it despite the fact that we are virtually busted.

As I believe I told you, we have a small watercolor by Gericault which we have a chance to sell, which will help us considerably.

We want to know as soon as possible when you are planning to go to California so that we can arrange for you to pay us a visit on route to or from.

Sincerely,

Dick
