CT/D New York, N.Y. 3 East 51st Street, December 27th, 1935. Dear Germain: I thought you would be interested to hear that I was speaking to Mrs. Garbich yesterday, and both she and her busband and apparently all her friends are extremely pleased with the de Kammerer portrait. Incidently I might mention that I saw the picture for the first time up at Miss de Kammerer's studio just before it was sent out to the Garbichs, and "entre nous", I personally do not like it although it [[strikethrough]] was [[/strikethrough]] is obviously a very good likeness and [[strikethrough]] was [[/strikethrough]] is photographically exactly like the little Garbich girl. I suppose the principal thing is that they are satisfied with it and Miss de Kammerer is starting on the second portrait this week. I might add that Miss de Kammerer has already received a check for $2,000. for this first portrait, and she has remitted to us the money that was due to us, and also the commission which altogether amounts to a little over a thousand dollars. With no other news, and my kindest regards, Believe me to be, Yours very sincerely, Germain Séligmann, Esq., Hotel Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
