Darling Daddy
Hope you and Mummy are both well. I enclose a photograph of a painting by Lucas Jordano which A. has seen in Calo and which is for saleThe owner is Magnus Grönwald and his adress is at the back of the foto. A thought it might interest you that you or the fund might like to buy it. If however for certain reasons it is unknown you do not wish to buy please forward the foto to Leo Svane
Maybe it could be acquired for Kunst Museet.
I wish to ask you to de me and A. the favour of sending Mr Mendez af Casal (the fat spanish museum director who dined at Nympha) som catalogues, reviews and fotographs of the Glyptotek and other colections founded by the Jacobsen family, as this Mr. Mendez of C wishes to write about your father and his work and of the Glyptotek as it is to-day and wishes fotographs so as to be able to give lectures in Madrid on Carl Jacobsen. He is specially interested in the paintings of the Glyptotek (as that is his strong point).
I enclose his adress and trust you will send him the most useful information and illustration on the subject.
A. is not very well just now. He has his yearly bronchitis attack which makes him feel very bothered [??] and of course takes time to cure. Ariel and I are in splendid health. Tell Mummy that yesterday he wore the sailor suit she sent from Paris and that it suited him splendidly and he did nothing but say to everybody Pepita Ariel gegeben ! His vocabulary is not so large - but may be you understand what he means. I ride nearly every day and even now going to take part i a tennis tournament.
Much love to Mummy and for yourself
Tons of kisses from ever loving Daphne
