A typescript letter from George Henry Wilson to Andrew Carnegie regarding the increased costs of railroad travel for two concerts that will be given by the Pittsburgh Orchestra in New York City for the next season. Mr. William Frew wants Mr. Wilson to explain to Mr. Carnegie about the increase in fares from the Pennsylvania Railroad in Philadelphia. Both Wilson and Frew believe that the concerts over the past two years, performed in New York City, have given the Orchestra ""such prestige before the country at large."" He concludes the letter by writing he is grateful for the letter from Mr. Bertram dated June 15th. On The Pittsburgh Orchestra stationary. Includes signature of G.H. Wilson, a penciled/number and a penciled doodle.
