Description

A typescript letter presumably from Andrew Carnegie to William J. Holland concerning the donation of a copy of a Diplodocus (Diplodocus carnegii skeleton, located in Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) to Argentina. In the letter Carnegie states that he received a note from the president of Argentina (Sa?enz Pen?a), via the ambassador of Argentina (Ro?mulo S. Naon) requesting a Diplodocus for Argentina since Carnegie recommended one for Brazil. Carnegie (erroneously) notes there are two Diplodocus in Pittsburg and wonders if they might send the first one to Argentina, but he notes, ""I suppose it would be too valuable as being the original"". He asks Holland for his help in resolving this request by Argentina.
