A typescript letter from W. J. Holland to Marcellin Boule, curator of the Department of Paleontology at the Museum of Paris, explaining that, despite information Boule has received from overzealous Carnegie Museum employees, additional replicas of Diplodocus carnegii, beyond the one currently being prepared as a gift for the British Museum, are not available for placement in other museums. Holland thanks Boule for his interest and promises him that he will be happy to have a replica created for the Museum of Paris at a future time if Mr. Carnegie requests one.
