9 rue de la Paix, 
Paris.
August 9th., 1938.

Dear Mr. Séligmann:

May I start by making excuses for the typewriter - often the capital letters fail to look like capitals as they drop so far below the line - thus my apologies now for this and any other letters in which that defect shows itself. In spite of that, I feel it is wiser to do nothing to rectify this machine until I get back to its home town.

Mail arrived (which is now enclosed) from New York this morning, and as feeling here at the office seemed to be divided equally between your returning to Paris for the Getty-Lacroix matter, and your remaining in St. Moritz, [[strikethrough]] and of course [[/strikethrough]] it seemed an intelligent idea to discover just exactly what should be done with these letters.

As you will see I have sent a note to Mr. Schiff which will serve as an acknowledgement, and which will temporarily make it unnecessary for you to write him.

I hope you have not been too much on "pins and needles" by the prolonged stay and prospects of Getty being in Paris, and that you will now be able to settle down and take your rest seriously.

Yours most sincerely,

(Theresa D. Parker)

Germain Séligmann, Esq.,
Suvretta Hotel,
St. Moritz.

P.S. Though I failed to mention it above, you will have gathered that your wire saying you were remaining in St. Moritz, has been received.
