Dear Mr. Seligmann:
I have your letter of the 10th- always glad to hear from you. The people in Paris who say that I have decided to buy only from Duveens are very much mistaken. I am always glad to purchased anything from you that will add interest to my collection, and I never consult from you that will add interest to my collection, and I never consult Duveens about anything you may offer me. I have not purchased the bust of La Clairon by Houdon. It is my house, and if I should become satisfied that it is genuine I may purchase it. I am not sure I could use the carpet of which you write, but I will look into it. and you may hear from me regarding it later.
With kind regards,
Always,
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Jacques Seligmann,
57 Rue Saint Dominique,
Paris, France.
