New York, August 15, 1955 Dear Mr. Seligman: I cabled you todaY: "CASES OPENING POSPONED NEXT WEEK STOP WRITING PORJES" After numerous telephone calls from the country with Brown's I finally was able to make an appointment with the checker of the customhouse for today 10.45 a.m. .Today At Brown's I learned that he called the appointment off. They tried to reach me at 9 but I left the house before 8 o'clock this morning. Mr. Blum from Brown's told me it might be possible for tommorrow or the day after tommorrow-but after this experience, I thought it [[strikethrough]]xxxx[[/strikethrough]] better to postpone for next week, when I am back in New York and could be reached easier. I am sorry,Mr. Seligman,it did not work out they way I planned it. I saw the cases, they are in perfect condition. Of course, I don't know how the statues are packed and in what condition they arrived. Mr. Blum wanted to have them opened this week without me, but I did not permit it. I think there is no harm in ha ving they opening postponed. You can imagine how mad I was - I came special to the city without any result. I talked to Mrs. Parker. She told me about the check she received from Judge Green $2,900.- I sent today to Mrs. Robbins the prepared check as well as credit note after talking to Mr. Robbins, who is in the city since today. I hope you and Mrs. Seligman are spending a pleasant and restful time. With best regards very sincerely, I am returning this afternoon to the country.
