CHRISTIE MANSON     17th June 1957

Dear Germain Seligman, 

Thank you for your letter and I note you are requesting Messrs. Chenue to call for the two paintings and they will be handed to them when they call. I am sad that I was not successful. I did everything I could.
 
Kindest greetings, 

Yours sincerely, 
Signed Alec Martin)

Transcription Notes:
I think bottom right corner handwriting says "total due is." Currency symbol still unknown. Looks a bit like an upside down franc? ------- unknown currency symbol unknown writing at the bottom right corner (Total due ?) ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-03-01 14:48:44
