Dear Dick:

Lowy just sent the frame for the Tocque and I am glad to be able to tell you that it fits.

It is not quite as refined as you and I would like, but it will due under the circumstances.

The one recommendation that I would like to make, however, hoping you will not mind, is that you have it toned down, in other words dull the gilding a good deal, as it is slightly garish for the delicacy of the painting. 

With all good wishes, 

Sincerely yours, 

(Germain Seligman)
