Sad news

Manhattan, September 30, 1923

Dear Mr. Spencer, 

I regret to inform you that Mr. Moishe Golansky was found dead in his ward on September 20. His remains have been transferred to the Goldmann funeral home from Bellevue following an autopsy, and the funeral will take place at Temple B’nei Avraham on 33 Elizabeth Street on October 2, 1923.  

With sincere condolences,

Dear Mr.Pollack,

I am writing to inform you that the auction of the rare items from Egypt that you provided last month was an outstanding success. Please find attached the catalogue and the final list of all items auctioned. You will be able to pick a check for the final amount at any point in time you desire after September 30, 1923.

Also, I would once more like to inquire about the rare Horus statue I mentioned in a previous letter. There are several interested potential clients, and if you are in possession of such an item, it would fetch a most handful price if sold or auctioned.

Sincerely yours,

James Partridge II
