Mr. J.A. Poynton
Pointe D'Acadue
Bar Harbor, Maine
My dear Mr. Poynton;
I duly received your letter while spending our vacation at the Mount Washington House, Bretton Woods, but did not reply to it because i was laid up for a few days with an ulcerated tooth, and after I recovered from that attack your letter had become temporarily mislaid.
I will be very glad to give you a copy of the little biograph-ical sketch which I am suggesting to you as appropriate for newspaper publication. Of course, we all hope that the time for such publication will be very remote. I want to do some more work on it and will send it to you when it in ready.
I am delighted to know that Mr. Carnegie has recovered his health and is able to be happy and enjoy his visit to Bar Harbor. I suppose you will be there until cold weather sets in. In fact that must be a decidedly good place for him to linger, in order that he may grow stronger. If he ever speaks of me I hope you will give him my most affectionate regards, and the same remembrance, of course, to Mrs. Carnegie.
Sincerely yours.
President
