I beg to confirm my order over the telephone today for the Cezanne still life, photograph of which you sent me yesterday, at a price not exceeding thirty thousand (30,000) francs, certificate that the painting is over twenty years old to be furnished, and the painting shipped direct to me in bond to Philadelphia. I understand that the above order is to be cabled to your Paris house, and that they are to cable you as soon as the painting is in their possession to be shipped to me.
