Dear Mr. Seligman:

I trust that you and Mrs. Seligman had an uneventful trip to destination.

SUITCASE - MRS. SELIGMAN: I had Jack make a cardboard container for it and shipped it today by airexpress to Mrs. Seligman. This is a somewhat costly procedure - 42 cents per pound, but by this method you should receive this piece of luggage within a reasonably short time. American Express could not guarantee delivery before three weeks. However, this shipment cannot be made directly to St. John, but will remain at the Air Terminal in St. Thomas where I would suggest your having it picked up by your hotel. Mr. Gelb tells me that it should arrive within three days from the above date.
[[right margin]] could not ship before, as there was no space [[/right margin]]

BOOKBINDERS delivered the Renoir book by Vollard and "L'Atelier de Renoir" (in two volumes), both in their sliding covers.

BANKERS TRUST COMPANY: Deposited to your special account, the following dividend checks:
Kimberly Clark Corporation   $34.35
Abbott Laboratories  $80.--

A.G. BECKER AND CO: received the fifty shares BENEFICIAL INDUSTRIAL LOAN CORPORATION which they purchased for you prior to your departure. As instructed, they will keep those securities until your return as per safekeeping receipt which reached me this morning.

I am enclosing herein the following stock powers:

100 shares Associates Investment Company
100 shares Kimberly Clark Corporation

which kindly sign and return to me. Through an oversight on their part, they only made you sign a stock power for 100 shared Associates Investment Company. They also forwarded the safekeeping receipts for these stocks.

BUDWORTH will call for the Juan Gris, destined for the San Francisco Museum of Art, on July 20th.

MAIL: Forwarded to you on July 6th, first-class, the books which you had left with me the day before your departure

FERIOT tells me that one of the tables (the one on which he has to raise the tablet) bears a very indistinct signature at the bottom of the drawer, ending, as he can make it out, in the letters "vot". He believes that as a result of previous restorations, the signature was partially obliterated. The second table does not seem to be signed at all.
