20th May 1899



My dear Lord Chancellor,



Your report of May 5th is worthy of you. It is another proof that genius, always imperious in any line it undertakes is capable of playing many parts. Believe me nothing becomes your grace more that the role of an angel of peace. Should the interests of science or any other interest bring you Skiboward, we will agree to change the subject for you from bones.



Always very truly yours,



[Andrew Carnegie]
