A signed typescript letter from William Holland to Andrew Carnegie informing him that Holland has been in touch with both French Ambassador Jusserand and Museum Director Perrier and that French President Fallires has accepted the offer of a gift diplodocus. Copies of original correspondence are enclosed (not included). The letter also discusses the second annual meeting of the American Association of Museums and recent attendance figures at the Carnegie Museum. An unsigned handwritten notation in pencil on page two of the letter jokes that if Holland is not decorated when he goes to erect gift diplodocuses in Paris and Berlin, Carnegie will ""play Emperor"" and give him a title.
