3 East 51st. Street,

March 18th., 1939. 

Dear Hans:

Herein letter that you might hand Harry Oakes so that you have some sort of an official paper from the firm - whatever it may mean to him. 

How as I wired you, I am very anxious to go to Washington and talk at once to Mr. Finley about the Mackay Collection.  So, as I have a lot to do, I want you right away by wire, etc., to make an appointment with Mr. Finley in Washington and tell me approximately when it would be, so that I could keep some free time. 

I expect you of course to go to Nassau, meet Oakes and come back - there is no question of spending a week, you realize, in Nassau just to meet this man. 

R. H. Whegen, Esq.,
c/o Mrs. Hugh Dillman,
Playa Riente,
Palm Beach, Florida.
