October 19th., 1943.

Dear Mr. Burrows:

These lines are being written just a few days after the sad news of Royal Cortissoz' death.

Though in recent years you have had the full burden of your paper's art criticisms, I am certain that at times you look back with pleasure to your early association with him and recall his active years when he was so important a link between the art world and the public.

You have in a way inherited the task for which he laid a deep and solid foundation, and I realize that with your knowledge and experience that foundation has indeed passed into capable hands. 

My best wishes go to you.

Yours very sincerely,

(Germain Seligman)
