In making a donation of L100,000 for branch libraries in the city of
Glasgow, this is the letter[13] that Andrew Carnegie sent to the Lord
Provost of the city council:

My dear Lord Provost:

It will give me pleasure to provide the needed L100,000 for
Branch Libraries, which are sure to prove of great advantage
to the masses of the people. It is just fifty years since my
parents with their little boys sailed from Broomielaw for New
York in the barque _Wiscassett_, 900 tons, and it is
delightful to be permitted to commemorate the event upon my
visit to you. Glasgow has done so much in municipal affairs to
educate other cities, and to help herself, that it is a
privilege to help her. Let Glasgow flourish! So say all of us
Scotsmen throughout the World.

Always yours,
Andrew Carnegie.

LETTERS BETWEEN FRIENDS

Dear Grace,

Your 'phone call surely caught me napping; but after an hour
or so of effort I did recall just how Sato mixed the shrimps
and carrots in the dish which you so much enjoyed.

First, catch your shrimp! When they have been cleaned and
prepared as for a salad, place on ice and _in_ ice, if
possible. Grate the carrots on the coarse side of the grater,
placing immediately on the salad plates, which of course have
already been garnished with lettuce leaves. Then add just a
fine sprinkling of chopped apples (I find this the best
substitute for alligator pears) and then the shrimps. Pour
over this the mayonnaise and serve at once.

I do not know what he called it and could not spell it if I
did, but you are at liberty to call it anything you like. At
all events, I am sure the crowd will agree it is a little
different, and I am glad to have been able to give the idea.

Cordially yours,
Ruth Wilson.

My dear Mrs. Sampson,

I am so glad to know that you have completely recovered from
your recent illness.

I trust you will soon be able to resume your wonted
activities. We a
