July 25, 1954

Dear Sir:

This is just to acknowledge receipt with thanks of your note of July 21st. I will be much interested to read your further news.

As long as, per your writing, you have opportunity of communicating with Dr. Max Friedlaender, may I suggest that you also ask for his opinion regarding the painting of "Salome with the head of St. John".

May I say, however, that I am surprised not to find any mention of the two portraits you referred to when I saw you last and which you told me are in a Hungarian collection but available in Austria. From your description, they could be of interest to me and were you able to supply me with photographs and further data concerning them I would be much obliged to you.

You will realize that these different matters have to be rushed, for were I do decide that I should go to Vienna, there is very little time left for me to make such decisions.

With best greetings, 

Yours very sincerely,

Germain Seligman
