Dear Mr. Séligmann:

MRS. JAMES SELIGMAN--We returned to her the little rug which we had restored and cleaned for her account through Bayenderian. I also sent her our invoice in the sum of $90, as per estimate rendered.

MORGAN GRENFELL & CO.--Please find appended Reconcilement of our Account with them, showing a balance in our favor of £1.3.1 which I find to be correct. Will you kindly sign and return it in the enclosed, self-addressed envelope.

MR.LEVY--Left for Tahiti on July 19th.

July 21st, 1959

PURCHASES OF MR. HIGGINS--I received his check in the sum of $5,000 in full payment, which I have forwarded to Mr. Miller. All these objects will be picked up at Roslyn on July 24th and shipped by his truck to Worcester, arriving on the following day, as arranged between Mr. Higgins and ourselves. Mr. Higgins assumed the entire cost of this shipment in the sum of $177.15, which he confirmed in writing.

DUNCAN PHILLIPS--As I advised you by cable, he is at present in California and will not return until the end of September. I, therefore, did nothing further in this respect.

WORLD'S FAIR--I discussed this proposition with Mr. Robbins and he was of the opinion to wait for further instructions from you regarding my letter of July 15th asking whether you would eventually be willing to insure the two paintings on our own policy. At all events, I called up the responsible party and told him that I did not have any news from you yet, but that I expected to hear from you within the next few days.

[[note]] The accountants are progressing nicely–everything runs smoothly.

Very faithfully your

O.A.Liechti
