Dear Mr. Seligman:

To my greatest surprise Mrs. Seligman left yesterday on the "SS America" for Europe. I gave her $ 130.- in Travellers check in her name along, which I had in the safe. 
[[right margin]] *) Copy sent to Mendes & Mount [[/right margin]]

I am enclosing copies of letters to McKay Morant in connection with a breakage reported by the Museum in Kansas 6ty as per the enclosed photostat. Jack packed same the usual way. He sent it to Houston last year and nothing happened. I myself saw it before it went. Jack had put signs inside the case saying:"Before unpaking statue remove pads from top and sides first" and he is of the opinion they did not follow his instructions. I don't know whether you want to file a claim, but anyway I reported the case and am waiting for your reaction. For the old break we might not get anything and we don't know how much the new one will affect the depreciation and how much the repair will be. Mrs. Parker expects a letter from Mr. Kelleher.- The other letter is self-explanatory.

I talked yesterday to Mr. Dattelbaum. He gives you regards and wants to tell you that the market is strong. He believes that your account in Madrid could be credited with dividends but is of the opinion the the corresponding coupons [[crossed out]] should [[/crossed out]] have to be mailed, registred of course, to the bank. He wants your o.k.

We delivered today to Mr. Stora the statue "Vulcan" which we own in joint account upon his request.

I deposited to Mr. Cunningham's account the check for $ 800.--. The refund which is due for the unused premium of the Vermeer is to be credited to the Duc? I did not receive a Credit Note yet!

, As I did not hear from Maggs Bros. as regards Ms. 89 and you did not mention anything I would like to know whether you had word from London. 

All back issues of 1954 as well as this year's issue from Connaissance des Arts arrived yesterday.

Mr. Arthur Goldschmidt is not at the Madison Hotel and they don't expect him in the near future as he made no reservations.

With best greetings, 

Very sincerely
