Dear Mr. Seligman:

LIST OF PERSONALLY OWNED WORKS OF ART - I rechecked the figures with Miss Bazner. Besides the three errors which we discovered ourselves when we checked such lists against your tax report, there were only one or two others which obviated the necessity of re-typing the whole document.

As this work is now finished, I told her to go ahead, as soon as she has a chance, with the list of sales made by our firm, grouped according to artists.

PARKE BERNET - I called for the little Gothic statuette which I purchased yesterday and for its protection I had Jack make a little cardboard box for it.
