that naturally please me coming from him, but the ball is still rolling.



There is only one drawback in the whole matter and that arises fromt he crowded condition of the Mexican National Museum.  Dr. Herrera writes me that he does not know for the life of him where he is going to be able to find place to set the thing up.  The President of Mexico has recently by presidential decree set aside a large piece of land for a new building or annex to the present Museum, and they are making an attempt now through the Mexican congress to erect a building.  They write me that they are very hopeful that thsi will be done and that the first section of the building is to be a hall large enough to accomodate "El diplodoco."  Herrera, in the event that their plans succeed, says 'Mrs. Carnegie will have the pleasure of knowing not only that she has made a notable girft to Mexican science, but brought about through that gift a forward movement in the development of the Mexican National Museum.  So you become doubly a benefactress.



Now I hope I have not wearied you by what I have written.  How would you like, when 

everything is ready, to be set up and installed and dedicated, to make a little excursion to Mexico and hand the thing over to the President as Mr. Carnegie did at South Kensington on a certain occasion when I remember you were with us.  I think that would be a real jolly.
