(LOT 1739)
Andrew Carnegie Typed Signed Framed Letter PSA/DNA (LOA at PSA)

Andrew Carnegie responds to a request for a $500 donation to the Ladies Home Journal of Philadelphia. "I appreciate the honor implied by being asked to contribute to your Journal, but I have so much to do these days that it must wait until the spirit moves me. The tempting bait of Five Hundred Dollars that you hold out to me in these dull times may land the fish some day, - who knows? With kind regards, very truly yours, Andrew Carnegie." A spectacular choice of words from this business magnate who led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century and became one of the richest Americans in history. Overall frame measures 19" x 21-1/2".

MIN BID $150
