MMFA THE MONTREAL MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 1379 SHERBROOKE STREET WEST, MONTREAL September 26, 1953 [[left margin]] not ackgd – copy sent 9-28 [[/left margin]] M. Germain Seligman, 5, East 57th Street, New York 22, N.Y., U.S.A. Dear Monsieur Seligman: I fear this is a very belated answer to your letter of September 10, addressed to Mr. Morgan. He is still staying in the country, and I am replying on his behalf. Since you wrote, I understand that Miss Shoolman and my colleague Mr. Cleghorn called on you in New York, and explained the situation about the Ingres and Seurat drawings. I expect to be in New York myself on Friday, October 2nd, and will give myself the pleasure of calling upon you. I would at the same time collect the Gauguin drawing which you are so kindly lending us, and which I understand will be insured by you. Sincerely yours, John Steegman John Steegman Director
