Summary
Saying that he has taken notice of 2 Cezanne works of the first order, Gothic wooden sculptures of great value, and a beautiful Donatello (writing perpendicularly on left margin that he has indicated this interest to Rosenberg's brother); requests photos, dimensions, provenance, and previous sale prices in larger sales when competent experts have examined the pieces before buying them; adding that he would like Rosenberg's best price; saying that he is waiting for the photos of his Impressionist paintings; (in postscript) the Lautrec are special as are Degas--the most expensive and the best only.
