Pittsburg mayor Guthrie received a Thaw letter replying to his appeal for flood relief. The note says the $500 check is not needed and suggests splitting funds between Allegheny relief and a Pittsburg charity. It bears an unfinished line and erasures, dated New York March 20 1907, and vows to hold the check until Thaw's sanity is determined.
