Dear Mr. Séligmann:

ZATZENSTEIN - I just received a letter from him advising us that the Van Gogh drawing is being returned by S. S. AMERICAN FARMER which left London on July 14th.  I am sure it will reach us with time to spare to forward it to California.

SCHIFF - The day after I had advised him, he mailed check for $943.92 covering additional expenses up to July 14th, as well as check for $783.20 for premium due on the Fine Art and General Policy.  This latter amount I have forwarded to McKay Morant.  I certainly do wish that all our clients would be as prompt in meeting their obligations.

LORD MOYNE - I wish to remind you that the agreements regarding the four Gobelins tapestries expire on October 12th.

EXHIBITION ROOM FIRST FLOOR - All that remains to be done is hanging the material and waxing the floor, which I will defer until September.

LIBRARY - Jack's work is progressing nicely.

AMBROSE - Without wanting to put you to additional expense, I thought it would be a good idea to engage him around the 15th of September, especially since Mr. Waegen and Mr. Levy will be back at that time and probably will want service.  This, of course, would mean an additional cost of $50.

I am in the throes of a very painful attack of neuritis which of all places had to affect the left side of my face. I certainly am very glad that vacation time is soon approaching which will give me a chance to get rid of it.

With best wishes,

Very faithfully yours,

O.A.Liechti
