Andrew Carnegie writes to William N. Frew, and expresses his delight on learning of Frews time with John Charles Van Dyke. Carnegie mentions William Tuthills (designer of Carnegie Hall in New York City) exorbitant fee for examining the plans for Pittsburghs Carnegie Music Hall, and expresses his desire that the matter be laid to rest. In the final section of his letter, Carnegie suggests a date of November 6 (1895) for the opening exercises in connection with the Carnegie Library/Institute.
