Letterhead of D. Van Nostrand Company, Publishers, Importers, and Booksellers, 23 Murray and 27 Warren Streets, P. O. Box 1741. NEW YORK, December 5, 1900. T. A. Edison, Esq., Orange, N. J. Dear Sir: With regard to Thomsen's "Thermochemische Untersuchungen," as stated to you originally, this was not obtainable here and I ordered a copy for you from abroad, which is due in about ten days' time. The other work, Gladstone and Tribe's "Storage Batteries," is out of print and quite scarce, but I hope to have this for you at the same time. The volumes of the American [German?] Chemical Society for which you sent me the order this morning must be imported as they are not obtainable here and it will be at least three or four weeks before I am able to send them to you. Awaiting your further favors, I am very truly yours, [C E?] Speirs
