Description:
‘...
I hope you are keeping well. They are establishing an anthropometric statistical bureau in New York on the Carnegie Trust, and write to me for a man who know[s] the new methods & is keen. I think we could find the right person, but I have written for further particulars meanwhile the matter is confidential. I wish Carnegie would establish a Biometric Institute here – farm & botanic garden & statistical laboratory. What a lot one could find out, if such a place were set going with a good income & a band of keen workers! It would do much more good than free libraries which he now seems [to be] scattering up & down the country.
Yours always sincerely,
Karl Pearson.’
