A signed typescript letter from Andrew Carnegie to Samuel Church, Secretary of the Carnegie Institute Board of Trustees, written in response to a copy of a January 6th letter that Church sent to Carnegie Institute of Fine Arts Director John Beatty. Carnegie expresses endorsement for getting the Byers pictures, presumably the art collection of industrialist Alexander M. Byers, into the Carnegie Institute gallery as a first step, with permanent possession as the ultimate goal.
