THE MINNEAPLOIS INSTITUTE OF ARTS 201 East 24th Street, Minneapolis 4, Minnesota Telephone: FEderal 5-4256 Cable address: Minnart Richard S. Davis, Director 2 January 1957 Mr. Germain Seligman Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc. 5 East 57th Street New York 22, New York Dear Germain: In answer to your telegram of this date, I am writing to say that the drawing by Delacroix arrived in good condition a day or two before Christmas. You will receive a formal receipt, which has been delayed because of the very large number of receipts which must be mailed at the end of the year. The funds [[strikethrough]]have[[strikethrough]] for both drawings come from special gifts, and will be transferred as soon as possible. Incidentally, I was not able to come to New York as I had hoped prior to Christmas because of the difficulty of securing reservations. However, Phyllis and I are coming for a week commencing January 10 or 11 and count on seeing you. Very sincerely, Richard S. Davis RSD:er
