Dear Mr. Seligmann:

BANKERS TRUST COMPANY SPECIAL ACCOUNT * Deposited the following dividend checks:

$60.-- Ashland Oil and Refining Company
38.98 Briggs and Stratton Corp.
75.-- Visking Corp.
50.-- Homestake Mining Co.

DE FREY returned the Bronze "Hercules and the Lion"

MR. TREVOR acknowledged receipt of our draft on London in the sum of L 12.3.6.

MR. GEORGES did not come in all week. We had the visit of Mr. Carrerras who asked for him. I had Miss Cohen call him at his apartment and he spoke to Carrerras over the phone for quite a while. As a result, Mr. Georges instructed Miss Cohen to deliver to Carrerras at the Savoy-Plaza the following photographs together with complete data:

GUBBIO PLATE, 16th century (Schiff)
RETASCON MASTER "The Annunciation"
FRENCH PRIMITIVE "Pieta"
VIGEE LEBRUN "Portrait of La Comtesse de Schoenfeld"

A MR. HERMAN GOLDSMITH also called on him and also had a telephone conversation. Mr. Georges then asked Miss Cohen to show Mr. Goldsmith the VUILLARD "Jardin de l'Alcazar" and the little Mary Cassatt "Nursing Baby". This is the painting which is consigned by Mr. Georges. The client made no comment whatsoever.

VALENTIN-Called him to inquire about the Renoir bronze. He tells me that it arrived yesterday and that we should have it at our galleries sometime toward the latter part of next week. He also tells me that he is leaving for Paris on Monday and that he will contact you on his arrival there.

SHIPMENT TO ST. JOHN - Bemo picked up the two cases containing the books and clothing. As I remember from last year, shipment is made only as far as St. Thomas. Shall I write instructions to the manager of Caneel Bay Plantation to pick them up and hold for your arrival?

Mr. Germain Seligmann
25 Place Vendome
Paris, France
