^Lot 170 Andrew Carnegie

ALS, three pages both sides, 4.5 x 7, Skibo Castle letterhead, June 9, 1902. Letter to a professor. In part: “This morning I read your letter to the Principal…for ‘Chemical Research’ at St. Andrews. I am so happy over it I must write you a word of Congratulations—few gifts can carry the peculiar charm of this. That one of her own Sons and Teachers should so sweetly remember her must touch the heart of Saint Andrew…I notice it is in memory of your Uncle—You must have had like myself perhaps an Uncle who became the nearest & dearest man on Earth.” In fine condition, with central horizontal and vertical fold, and some mounting remnants to reverse of second integral page.
