My dear Woodruff
I was so inferrially tired Friday night that I went home without waiting to confer with you, as I had expected to. I realize how busy you must be with the preparations for the coming marriage but this Carnegie business seems to me so important that I maybe justified in holding you up in the highway for a brief reason.
Ought we not to acquaint him in some formal way with our needs, & at once? The Polytechnic people will surely approach him Dont we want to get a promise from him too? No better solution of the questions raised by Mr. Grant can be found than the speedy acquisition of considerable endowments by these colleges already existing.
Cant we manage it so as to secure at least the usual conditional promises from both Rockefeller & Carnegie, and secure the one with the other?
I cant help feeling that now in the accepted time for activity on our part. I dont want to approach Mr. Carnegie myself unless you & I have agreed that it is a wise thing to do & have outlined our plan of campaign together.
May I not hear from you? Or it would be still better if you could come over here - perhaps some morning
Faithfully yours
Charles H. Levermore
