A typescript letter from John W. Beatty to Andrew Carnegie concerning Mr. Robert Vonnoh's opinion of the Carnegie Institute, Dept. of Fine Arts' permanent collection of paintings and Vonnoh's current exhibition at the Carnegie Institute. Beatty writes that he is enclosing a copy of a letter he received from Vonnoh, presumably dated November 20, 1914, and notes that Vonnoh is a painter in ""high standing"" and his opinion is valuable. He also notes that American landscape painter, H.W. Ranger, presumably Henry Ward Ranger, also express a similar opinion of the Institute. Includes penciled shorthand near top of letter. Marked ""Signed for the Director in his absence"".
