An appropriated of $4000.00 with amout in hands of 

Dr. W. J. Holland, would allow him to finish the plaster work

involved in the construction of the three replicas he has on hand 

and install one of them in Mexico City, without taking into account 

his expenses in going to and from Mexico, which probably would

be necessary, but which as in the past he would be pleased to

personally defray from his own pocket.



At suggestion of Mrs. Carnegie and R.A. Franke $5000 allocated Feb. 21, 1928.
