A handwritten text, presumably for a telegram from Samuel H. Church to John Beatty, concerning Andrew Carnegie's dislike of a portrait painted of him presumably by Anders Zorn. After four sittings the work was stopped and Church asks Beatty to ""take one or two competent judges"" to look at the painting at Andrew Carnegie's house. He asks Beatty to respond to him. Care Conductor P.R.R. No. 24 beginning of text.
