RUSSELL A. PLIMPTON, DIRECTOR   15 December 1955

Mr. Germain Seligman
Jacques Seligmann & CO., Inc.

New York 22, New York

Dear Germain:

I am inclosing a copy of the telegram which I sent you, most reluctantly, this morning.

I am confident that the donor is interested in the work and would acquire it for us after seeing it in the original. However, I cannot persuade him to fly to New York before Christmas.

Consequently, I do not consider it fair to ask you to continue to reserve the work. But I can assure you that I shall bring him to see it after the holidays provided that it is still available.

Sculpture of this type represents the Institute's greatest need, so I shall keep in close touch with you.

Very Sincerely,
D.S
Richard S. Davis
Assistant Director
