dC. 3 rA IR MA IL April 13, 1953 Messrs. Salviati & Co. Canal Grande Venice, Italy Gentlemen: Will you please pardon my apparent contradictions of myself and another error that I have made. In my last letter to you of April 9th I stated that there were two wat er glasses broken. This was the information last given to me by one of the servants. Mrs. Kempner has checked this carefully and it is found that the broken glasses consist of one water glass and one champagne glass, not two water glasses and not a wine glass; but I repeat, a water glass and a champagne glass. If you have already put the two water glasses in manufacture, let them come forward with a champagne glass. If not, make the necessary corrections and I promise you that this last is correct. With best wishes, I am Yours sincerely, 22 D. W. Kempner
