23 June 93

Dear Mr. Hamman,

I have indeed received in due time the (item) that you sent back to me. I am hoping now to receive a word from you about the settlement of my account, thinking that Mr. Knoedler has sent some instructions on this subject. I am going to need those funds, and ask you to see to it that payment is made as rapidly as possible.

A word from you in reply, I pray you.

Cordially yours

Claude Monet
