A typescript letter, presumably from Samuel H. Church, to Andrew Carnegie, concerning a letter Andrew Carnegie sent, dated January 19, 1911, to Frew and the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Institute on what they would do with an extra fifty or a hundred thousand yearly income for the Institute. The Board does not feel there is a need for a new department for Carnegie Institute at this time; the present needs of the Technical Schools are being taken care of by Carnegie's endowments; the Board does believe that they can use $100,000 additional income in ""carrying forward and extending the work of the Museum and Fine Arts departments"" ; and the Board will transmit to Carnegie the ""reports of the Directors of the Museums and Fine Arts departments"" so that Carnegie can be acquainted with ""scope"" and ""purpose"" of these departments and the ""cost of developing them"". They also transmit a letter from the director of the Technical Schools with similar information.
