A typescript letter, presumably from Andrew Carnegie, to the mayor of the City of Pittsburgh, George W. Guthrie, concerning certain newspaper clippings (not included). Mr. Carnegie states that he knows how to handle newspaper articles as he has had a lot of experience in dealing with them. Carnegie explains that he has corresponded to Mr. Frew, President of the Board of Trustees, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, and that he thinks the City of Pittsburgh is ""doing remarkably well in spending about Two Hundred Thousand Dollars a year upon their Libraries"". Mr. Carnegie suggests that the City of Pittsburgh should pay a fair fixed sum for the parts of the new building that the city occupies as a Library. Carnegie then expresses his opinion on an upcoming banquet given by the City of Pittsburgh for foreign guests. Handwritten notation on right side of letter.
