TLS, one page, 7.75 x 9, personal letterhead, October 1, 1914. Letter to David Bates. In full: “Many thanks for your favor of 23rd September, which recalls old times so vividly. In my interviews with the Emperor, his expressions showed him to be so clearly interested in peace, that I had no doubt of his desire.” At the bottom, Carnegie adds a brief handwritten postscript, “Glad any time to have you call & see a fellow. AC.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, two passing through single letters of signature, slightly trimmed edges, a bit of paper loss to edges, and a bit of scattered light soiling. Carnegie was an early activist for peace in Europe and sought to ease tension in the region by using his money and influence, including attempting to get President Roosevelt to visit the country.
