May 8, 1953 Dear Dick: Many thanks for your note of May seventh, and am glad to read you are seriously considering the purchase of the watercolor by Gericault. I am thus, as per your wish, shipping it to you by Air Express tomorrow, May ninth. [[note]] in fact - it will leave today- [[/note]] May I ask you, in turn, as a special favor to return it to me after you will have had the opportunity of examining it anew, as soon as feasible by Air-Express, should you decide not to acquire it. Sincerely, Germain Seligman Mr. Richard S. Davis Wayzata 5, Minnesota TP
