Letter from Andrew Carnegie to Theodore Roosevelt
Andrew Carnegie sends President Roosevelt newspaper clippings from the London Times discussing Roosevelt’s step toward reforming the English language. Professor Walter W. Skeat and the other British philologists approve and welcome Roosevelt’s actions. Carnegie is working with Skeat to create a joint committee to work on the language reforms and would like Roosevelt’s approval “so that the whole English-speaking race should march forward in unison.”
