A typescript letter from Charles Hitchcock Sherrill to Andrew Carnegie concerning a letter Sherrill received from Carnegie, dated March 21, 1911. Mr. Sherrill writes that he sent a copy of this letter to Dr. Naon, Argentine Ambassador, suggesting that he telegram President Saenz Pena about the ""fossil diplodocus"". Sherrill reminds Carnegie that President Saenz Pena was a colleague of Carnegie's at the first Pan-American Congress. The subject of universal peace is brought up along with reference to a pamphlet that Sherrill included with this letter (not here) written by Dr. Joaquin V. Gonzales. Dr. Gonzales, the former President of La Plata University and current Ambassador to Chile ""sums up the universal desire for peace"" in his pamphlet. Sherrill writes about the efforts of Secretary Knox and President Taft's efforts ""toward maintaining international peace in South America"". Mr. Sherrill concludes by mentioning his efforts in helping to restore relations between Bolivia and Argentina over the ""Bolivian-Peruvian boundary dispute"". The letter Includes penciled marking on page one.
