THE MINNEAPOLIS INSTITUTE OF ARTS 201 EAST TWENTY-FOURTH STREET BRIDGEPORT 4256 MINNEAPOLIS 4, MINNESOTA RUSSELL A. PLIMPTON, DIRECTOR 15 December 1955 Mr. Germain Seligman Jacques Seligmann & CO., Inc. 5 East 57th Street 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 RSD:er Inclosure
