Dear Germain:

By now you know the necklace transaction is completed and Mastai has his 10% commission. Incidentally the latter can be very useful should we at times want to know anything that is going on anywhere. A tap-able source for information - and he told me the behind-the-scene story of our first offer on the necklace. 

Yesterday we had the visit of Erwin Rosenthal of California re mss when he heard d'Arenberg's were not to be seen he inquired about single pages, but both the Bourdichon xx and 16th C. German are far too late for him. He seeks 11th, 12th or 13th Century pages. Am giving Miss Winter his card with the Cal. address in case you should wish to look him up when you are there.
