Title
[D8805AGI], Letter from Edison United Manufacturing Co, Charles Edward Chinnock to Alfred Ord Tate, September 7th, 1888
Editor's Notes
"Your favor of the 6th inst at hand. Mr. C.J. Hubbell had no authority from us to draw on you, and while we are on that subject, he is certainly injuring our busines by borrowing money in all directions. He visited Catskill for the purpose of altitude, we believe, and states he has fair prospects of closing a central station, and then he visited Saratoga for the same reason. ### I think he is possessed of considerable talent if it could be used in the right direction, but he certainly presumes on his acquaintence with Mr. Edison. I am quite sure he would make a very valuable agent if he could be held in check, but I know of no rain sufficiently strong to hold him down to business. ### He attempted to borrow money from Mr. Reimer and succeeded, also from Mr. Edison and Mr. Browning. He tried to get some from Mr. Willard and Mr. Johnson and also asked me to loan him $150. He got money from the hotel at Catskill and gave an order to the Catskill Transportation Company on us. Now he attempts to get it from you, these we know of. I think it would be only fair to multiply these by three in order to arrive at the number we do not know of."
