Dear Mr. Bier, 

It was pleasant to have heard from Mrs. Bier that you had completely recovered from your illness, and, in fact, were having a very good time in New York. 

A matter has come up about which I would like to enlist your co-operation, and as it would be too long to explain by letter or by telephone, I am wondering whether you would have a few hours to spare to come and see me in Paris. You could take a morning plane and return by a late afternoon one to London, this, of course, at my expense. 

I would gladly return to London, but with the many trips planned I do not see how this is feasible for the time being. From Mrs. Bier I gather that you will be back on Tuesday May 31st, and if you can see your way clear to fly across on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, June 4th, 5th, or 6th respectively, I am certain to be in Paris then. 

[[underlined]] May I ask you to be so good as to send me a wire [[/underlined]] shortly upon your arrival, for should I not be expecting you, I would make plans accordingly. 

Thanking you in advance, and with kindest regards to your wife and to you, 

Sincerely yours, 

Germain Seligman

P.S. By the same token you could look at the Poussin exhibition which, by itself, deserves a special trip.
