ALBRIGHT ART GALLERY
BUFFALO, 9, NEW YORK

Office of the Director

July 30, 1946

Mr. Georges E. Seligmann
Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc.
5 East 57th Street
New York 22, N.Y.

Dear Mr Seligmann:

I have given quite careful consideration to the Courbet and I find that for various reasons it is not a Courbet that I feel I should recommend to an institution that will probably only buy one painting by this master.

I am very grateful to you for all you have done in making this painting available to us for approval.

Very sincerely yours,

Andrew C. Ritchie
Director

ACR:EB

P.S. We are shipping the painting to you tomorrow through Brown's Warehouse Co.
