5 East 57th. St. New York, 22, N.Y. June 28, 1950 Dear Mr. Seligman: Mrs. Parker turned the following over to me: Copy of your letter to Lefebvre-Foinet, dated June 17, re frames. Letter from Seligman & Cie, together with copy of their letter to Chenue, respecting the packing of the tw oCoysevox. Copy of your letter to Seligmann & Cie re Coysevox. Copy of your cable to McKay Morant and their reply re insurance of Coysevox, all of which I find self-explanatory, as well as check from Mrs. C.F. Weake in the sum of $25.00, which I deposited with your special account at the Bankers Trust Co. IVORY PLAQUE: Was delivered to us in good condition by Mr. Gelb to whom it had been forwarded by Lefebre-Foinet. The protective mounting certainly is very original and looks handsome indeed. MRS. CHARLES A. WIMPFHEIMER, sent in a gentleman bearing the following note: "My dear Mr. Seligman. Please let bearer, Edgar Foster, look at my Regency table and oblige, Yours truly" Trying to draw him out he told me that he was a dealer; that he had purchased a number of items such as Aubusson rugs and a Steinway from her Fifth Ave Apartment, and that she had asked to look at the table, which is all the information I could get. Mrs. Parker and I agreed that in view of Mrs. Wimpfheimer's request we could not stall off this man, and after a telephone conversation with Mr. Falkenstein told him that said table could be seen at De Batz & Co. MARLBOROUGH FINE ART LTD.
