W. Widenham, ASSISTANT SECRETARY IN THE PALACE OF FINE ARTS, SAN FRANCISCO Telephone: Fillmore 5018 11 July 1922 Dear Sir Will you kindly let me have by return mail if possible a complete, definitive list of all the tapestries being lent by your firm for inclusion in the forthcoming loan exhibition of tapestries to be held in our Museum, and will you kindly let us have an individual pricce list of all the tapestries as well as ^[[glossy]] photographs of the four tapestries which Mr. Seligmann kindly agreed to add to the first selection. Please send me two sets of these photographs and an additional set of the first photographs sent us, as I need one set for reproduction in the catalogue and one set for use in the press. The exhibition, as now composed, promises to be the most notable of any tapestry exhibition ever held in this country and should do much to promote a more intelligent and widespread interest in tapestries among the wealthy as well as the general public on the Pacific Coast. I say "the Pacific Coast" advisedly, as this exhibition like our loan exhibition of Old Masters and the J. Pierpont Morgan Rembrandt collection will undoubtedly be visited by people from all parts of this section. Tahnk you for all your kind cooperation in this matter, I am. Very sincerely yours, [[signature]]J. N. Laurvie[[/signature]] Director W. Jucker, Esq. Jacques Seligmann & Co. Inc. 705 Fifth Avenue New York City
