ALS, two pages, 5.25 x 8.25, personal letterhead, April 13, 1910. Letter to Mr. Nichols, Editor-in-Chief of ‘The Thistle’, the yearbook for the Carnegie Technical Schools. Upon hearing that 'The Thistle' yearbook for 1910 was to be dedicated to the memory of his mother, Carnegie writes to Nichols to express his heartfelt gratitude. In full: “I am deeply touched at hearing that this year book 'The Thistle' is to be dedicated to the memory of my mother. She fully deserved such honor, for heroine true was she. Now since Mrs. Carnegie & I have really been among the students & feel that we know them all is changed. We are impressed with the great work going forward and the bright faces beaming upon us as we addressed them shall long retain their glow. Success to them, one & all.” In fine condition, with single tack hole to each corner, a uniform shade of mild toning, and a trivial spot under signature. Carnegie founded the Carnegie Technical Schools on November 15, 1900. The schools would develop and merge to eventually form what is known today as the Carnegie Mellon University. To this day, Carnegie Mellon University still produces a yearbook, and it is still called ‘The Thistle.’
