Mr. Germain Seligman
Five East 57th Street
New York, New York

Dear Germain:

Regarding the "Balzac" by Rodin, the cast No. 1 now in your gallery belonged to a Paris art dealer by the name of Danthon.

There are supposed to be three casts: one in the Musee Rodin in Paris, one in a private collection in Europe and the one now in this country.

Sincerely yours,
