"Dear Mr. Seligman:
I want to thank you for taking the time to look at the pastel attributed to Baron Gros which I brought over.  Your comments on the work were most informative and helpful to us.  

The gentleman who owns this work has also two other works attributed to Gros, and should he ask us to do so, perhaps you would be kind enough to look at these also.  

Again, thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Sincerely yours,
(signed) William H. Gerdts, Curator Painting and Sculpture"
