A typescript letter from W.N. Frew to Andrew Carnegie stating that he received the second telegram from him and asks Carnegie to write confirming his consent to the preparation of the plans (presumably the plans for the extension of the Carnegie Institute). After a meeting of the ""Building Committee"", Frew states that he was instructed to contract with Alden and Harlow for the preliminary studies and working drawings. Frew assures Carnegie that he only plans to pay for what work the architects are instructed to do on the plans. Mr. Frew then explains in more detail about the work the architects will do. He concludes with mentioning (presumably) the Carnegie International and Founder's Day.
