Board of Trustees, Carnegie Institute--Buildings, Buildings--Additions--Pennsylvania--Pittsburgh, Oakland (Pittsburgh, Pa.)--Buildings, structures, etc., Carnegie, Andrew, 1835-1919--Correspondence
A folded handwritten letter (what appears to be a draft of a letter) from Andrew Carnegie to Samuel Harden Church, Secretary, Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Institute, concerning the acceptance by ex-President Grover Cleveland (presumably to speak at the upcoming Founders Day celebration). Carnegie continues by stating that he hopes the ""additions can be pushed"" and he praises the men who manage the Institution.
