The second run of correspondence, labeled "Carnegie Turndowns to be Put on Rolodex," covers the same years and includes copies of letters Evans sent to organizations and individuals when turning down their requests for funding or assistance from the Carnegie Corporation. The last two folders of correspondence include outgoing letters that seem to be arranged loosely by subject and relate to the Carnegie Corporation and Evans's transition to serving as president of the Charles H.
