Paris, June 15, 1949

Dear Miss BAsner:

I thank you for your note of June 10 and for theinformation you gave me re your correspondence with Mr. Richard S. David.

BRummer Sale to my utter amazement; I have just heard of another Brummer sale which took place a week or ten days ago. Why did you not post me about it and if necessary send me a catalogue? How do you expect me to be posted if you do not write to me on such matters? In going to one of my colleagues in Paris I heard about it and thought he was talking about one of the earlier sales and must have looked like a very ill informed person, wondering whether probably my office in New York was open or closed. This goes hand in hand with those newspaper clippings and it is definitely part of your duties to be thinking every day about the matters which could be of interest to me and post me accordingly. It is a great deal better to do too much along these lines then the opposite.

Edgar Schenck Thanks for the data. Make a note of it for the autumn He was at the head of the Smith College Museum.?? Upon my return, will you please have a letter ready for my signature, congratulating him on his new assignment. Please do not forget.

With best wishes
GS
