NEW YORK (22) APRIL 18, 1951

Dear Mr.Seligman:

The enclosed mounted clipping arrived this morning from Maitre Chauveau. Nothing else was in the envelope.

As I will tell you when you phone the Matisse is back with the telephoned excuse of Bourgeois "that it did not fit into the style of the room".

Curt Valentin phoned on his return from St.Louis. The von Kulmbach was left with Mr.Rathbone to whom we are, meaning me, to write about its return, should they not wish to purchase it. As Mr.Valentin understood that it would be returned Monday, if this were the case, I will send a note to Mr.Rathbone on Friday of this week.

Mr. Dodge of Glens Falls is the only visitor of this week, aside from newspaper, radio etc., people regarding Lebrun.

Did you know that Mrs. Bernard Reis is working at Carré?

There has been no further word from de Batz about the Mallet.

Mr.Coe of Cleveland was just in to say hello.

I have just cabled you as follows: DICK AGREED SO CABLED BOBBY.

The following covered by telephone call of this morning have been taken care of.

Mrs. Dickerman was agreeable to the figure. Her only worry was that the painting might be sent away before payment was received. I told her that as she and I know, you would take every precaution to protect the painting and her interests. I have confirmed the conversation as per the enclosed copy, which I hope you will find agreeable too.

Bobby: I made a few alterations in your suggested cable which in no way affect the meaning but perhaps sound a little more friendly and optimistic. Copy of it is enclosed.
