Dear Mr. Seligman:
De Batz just phoned and we are sending over the Mallet on Monday. He also wants to be in direct touch with you by letter and I have told him to write you at the Ritz.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. David M. Levy's secretary called and as sweetly as any human being could asked for a print of the Degas "Modiste" which is being sent with a note of which you will find a copy enclosed.

As I cabled, Paul Gardner has asked as per the enclosed copy for the Pierino. Though he says it can wait for your return I know you were anxious to have anything requested sent immediately which we are doing, the sculpture being packed in a double case. 

A Madame Canaso (?) phoned about showing you a Picasso she had spoken to you about. When she heard you were away until the 12th., she said she would phone on your return.

Mortimer Brandt has the photograph of a La Fresnaye which is a portrait of the father of the owner who lives in London. He inquired whether your book was finished, so I replied that it was at least still in your hands. He also will phone you about something else when you return.

Best of everything

T.D.P.
