A telegram (marked ""copy"") from Andrew Carnegie to ""editor Leader, Pittsburgh, Pa."" (i.e., Alexander Pollock Moore), in response to Moore's letter of the 29th, in which Moore, suggesting that rather than create a pension for the ex-presidents of the United States as Carnegie had proposed, he create instead a fund to assist those who had been injured and the families of those who had been killed at his steel works. In the telegram, Carnegie responds that upon retiring eleven years ago he had created a $5 million fund for pensions and relief for his workers, as well as a $1 million fund to support the libraries and halls he had built.
