An unsigned typescript letter presumably from James Bertram, Andrew Carnegie's personal secretary, to William Holland written in response to Holland's May 12th letter to Andrew Carnegie. Bertram notes that Carnegie indicated in a penciled note on Holland's letter that he does not want Holland to use his own money to pay any expenses associated with a trip to Madrid to install their diplodocus and that he would like Holland to visit Skibo on his way home from Madrid.
