A typescript letter from President, presumably Samuel Harden Church, newly elected president of the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Institute, to Andrew Carnegie regarding the first meeting of the Board of Trustees since Church was elected president. At this meeting Church announced Carnegie's gift of one million dollars to the Institute and the additional allotment of one million dollars that would take the place of the $50,000 annual appropriation that had been made by the Carnegie Hero Fund. Church writes of the gratitude felt by the Board of Trustees for the additional two million dollars to the Carnegie Institute endowment funds. He writes that the new administration is starting out ""beautifully"" and that there is a lot of work to do. Church hopes to send Carnegie a supply of Founder's Day books the following week.
