Dear Mr. Seligman: Thank you for your letter of August 12th with regard to the landscape by La Hyre. My apologies for not having replied earlier but I have been on holidays and we note that you are closed until the first of September. I have sent a copy of your letter to Mr. Baldwin, who is presently in England working on the exhibition, "HERITAGE DE FRANCE", in which we hope to include your painting. We greatly appreciate your willingness to lend the picture and in the event that it is sold prior to the exhibition, to intercede on our behalf with the new owner. As the arrangements for the show develop Mr. Baldwin will be in touch with you. Many thanks for your assistance. Yours sincerely, [Signature]Nancy E. Robertson[/Signature] (Miss) Nancy E. Robertson Assistant Curator NER/cf
