July 26, 1954

Dear Otto:

These few lines, sent from 6,000 feet, were to be just to say "hello" to you and Margaret when, by one of those mysterious coincidences, your letter of July 15th reached me.

Your suggestion of letting matters rest until we can meet again in New York is indeed a very sound one and I will enjoy a great deal more having this opportunity of chatting with you than writing long letters.

After several most hectic weeks, we have at last reached this heavenly spot - have you ever seen it? The only drawback is that with the most unseasonable weather all over Europe, we are more submitted to cold air than we would really like, having worn winter suits and top coats ever since we landed in Europe! To you, under the stress of heat waves it will probably seen a most enviable situation!

You write that you are about to leave for your vacation and I do hope these lines, addressed to you personally, will each you enjoying also a well deserved rest.

With kindest thoughts from us both to you both,

Sincerely,
 
Germain Seligman
