A typescript letter presumably from Andrew Carnegie to Samuel H. Church in regards to a letter he received from Church dated February 26, 1908. In the above mentioned letter Church explains about the Founder's Day celebration at the Carnegie Institute. He writes that the Founder's Day Committee is arranging the details of the celebration that will be held on April 30, 1908 and they would like Carnegie to attend it. The Committee has learned that Carnegie is going to the Lehigh celebration on April 30, 1908 (probably for the opening of Taylor Hall, the first dormitory building built at Lehigh University which was built using funds provided by the Carnegie Foundation). Church writes that (Charles L.) Taylor, (John A.) Brashear and (Robert) Pitcairn are all required to present at both the Founder's Day celebration and the one at Lehigh University. He asks Carnegie to change the date of the Lehigh University celebration. Carnegie responds in this letter dated February 28, 1908 that he received Church's letter of February 26th and he is willing to change the ""Lehigh function"" to a few days earlier. Carnegie writes that he and his wife Louise Carnegie are sailing in early May and Mrs. Carnegie has a lot of ""preparations to make"".
