Carnegie Hall, located in manhattan across from Central Park, has been there as a proper landmark of New York City since 1891. Andrew Carnegie, a scottish philanthropist who absolutely changed the entire world by his work in the Steel Industry during the Industrial Revolution. From the young age of 12, Carnegie had relocated form Scotland to The United States of America, where he began working as a telegrapher. As a young adult, Carnegie he had invested in several industrial concepts such as railroads and oil derricks. Carnegie became very successful as a sales bondsman which really changed the business between the United States and Russia. He built Pittsburgh Carnegie Steel Company and sold it to J.P Morgan Chase in 1901. With all the money he made throughout his life time, he spent most of his money giving back to the humanities of art. He invested himself in peace, education and the importance of art. He was a highly educated man that gave back to those around him, he wanted people to experience the simple things in life and the importance of art. Carnegie built Carnegie Hall after being inspired by his wife Louise, who was a singer herself of Opera. He created this venue for other's to come and listen to Classical Music, to enjoy themselves. That opening night, Pytor Tchaivoksky, a composer took the stage and changed music forever. To this day, Carnegie Hall is looked at as the venue of pure excellence, the best of the best have performed there and it upholds its prestigeous title to this very modern day.

Viola! Please, be so kind and accompany me to the music hall! Oy, I know Music Halls in this town cannot pay the bills. In pure honest, I would rather a job that didn't pay the bills than a husband that is absent. I do not have any idea of how long it will stay open, but it would be morbid not to attend. I spend my nights waiting for John to ask me to join him, but his rolled opium cigarettes and the goblet of Brandy remain steadily full while my heart becomes empty! I wish to forget this disarray, I dream of the walks in the park and the embodiment of divine health. Please! You must visit your little sister, whom loves you very much!

I love you, Priscilla
