Dear Mr. Seligman:

The enclosed copies of my letters to McKay are self-explanatory. Unfortunately you did not answer my last letter in connection with the insurance for the two statues before closing. To be xxxx safe I had same insured also against breakage as you will see from the enclosed letter. Usually we insure marbles but as these are wood sculptures I was not quite sure.

The lawyer of the Landlord called this week to tell me, that our offer as regards the lease has been accepted. XXXX Up to now we paid yearly $7.200- and we offered $7.500.- Mr. Robbins who still was in New York (he left this morning) asked me to tell him to send the lease to Mr. Galton who, after checking, will forward it to you for signature. I think you should wait for Mr. Robbins who, is, as I understand, seeing you. After all our policy was allright [[alright]].

I received your letter of July 24 and in the meantime you have received my accounting. Also Miss Bazher told me she answered your letter already. Jack's health was lately quite good. Soon after you left he had troubles for about two weeks, but since then he felt fine. Mrs. Parker tells me also she feels fine when I asked her over the phone.

My wife has been operated this week Wednesday and feels accordingly, everything xxx went all right. I hope to get her home next week.

Today I am closing officially the gallery and I think all arrangement have been made in this connection to your satisfaction.
My personal address: 282 Cabrini Blvd. New York 40m N.Y.
Tel: WAdsworth 7-9557.

As XX I don't know your further plans and how long you are staying in St. Moritz, I do hope this letter reaches you soon.

I wish you and Mrs. Seligman a nice vacation and summer.

With best regards,

Yours very sincerely

Projes
