Dear Peck:

I was surprised not to have received any answer from you to my two letters in connection with La Rancheraye and thought you had left Paris on a holiday, but having seen your handwriting on two letters which were forwarded to me from Paris, I surmised you are still in town. If so, would you be good enough to put into the room at Place Vendome which I have been using as office, the following items which have been turned over to you by Madellene [[Madeleine]] or which were bought back from the auction at Rhiems.
 
2 Aquarelles Frank Boggs
1 Sujet Sevres (Bisquit pate tendre 18:S)
1 Sujet faience ("Belisaire" Niederwiller 18:)
2 Lampes chevet bronze

Auction 
2 Aquarelles par Ballu "Paysages d'imagination romantique"
1 Aquarelle par Ballu "La Tour Saint-Jacques à Paris"
1 Aquarelle par Rogier (attribué à Camille) "Scene Venitienne"
1 Peinture par Lami "L'Empereur et l'Imperatrice en caleche"

In other words, a total of eleven items.

We shall be here until the early morning of the 9th and expect to be back in Paris late on the 12th. Hoping you are well and thanking you again for your cooperation, with kind thoughts in which my wife joins me, I am

Sincerely yours, 

Germain Seligman

Mr. Arthur Peck
