A signed typescript letter from Andrew Carnegie to Samuel Church thanking him for sending the ""two volumes"" (an initialed penciled notation from Church indicates that the volumes contained Founder's Day books ""from the beginning"").

In an initialed postscript handwritten in ink, Carnegie mentions that he suspects Church may have edited and improved upon the original speech.
