Dear Mr. Seligman:

I received your letter of June 29th., with two copies of letters dated June 28th., and 29th. to Lebebvre Foinet which I found self-explanatory. 

This morning's mail brought a letter dated June 29th., addressed to you by Lefebvre-Foinet, containing detailed information with respect to certain shipments which they are making for our account. As it was marked "copie pour New York" I presume that the original was mailed directly to you. I certainly am very glad to know that said shipments are handled so speedily, and upon their arrival in New York I shall do my utmost to have them cleared by the customs as quickly as possible in order to be able to give you a detailed report. 

I arranged for the necessary Marine insurance with Lloyds. [[note]] ¶ [[/note]] I wish to point out to you that in paragraph one of their letter, Lefebvre Foinet acknowledges among others, receipt of the check "Marcus" in the sum of [[strikethrough]] $1,286 [[/strikethrough]] $286.00. Shouldn't this be $1,286.00.?

As regards the check "Ratton" they confirm it will $314.00 instead of $314.30, which two discrepancies I wished to call to your attention. 

As requested by you I am sending you [[strikethrough]] an [[/strikethrough]] in the enclosure [[strikethrough]] of [[/strikethrough]] six blank checks, numbered 806 to 811 on J.P. Morgan & Co., Inc. 

REVILLON FRERES: mailed an invoice to Mrs. Seligman for work done on an otter coat in the sum of $85.00. Do you authorize me to make payment?

HELFT: We received the following letter from him:  "Dear Mr. Liechti: Answering your letter of June 20, I do not believe to be able to have to have your things dispatched before few weeks. Anyhow, I take note that in any case I will not have them delivered during your vacation and will keep you posted in due time, I remain, YVT." Signed J. Helft.

M.I.T. - Returned SEURAT "Eiffel Tower" in good condition.

New York is getting to be very hot and humid, typical summer weather. 

With best wishes
