My dear Mrs. Edison I beg you have [illegible] from your mind, as I have long ago done from mine, the little misunderstanding concerning tutoring[?] ratio. Do not think of sending on the amount. I am ashamed of my poor business methods. I should may made myself more clear. I do not want our cordial relation to be marred ever so slightly by a misunderstanding over money matters. I can honestly say that money was the very last consideration I took into account in all my trips to Glenmont. The affection of the dear children, and your own good will, have always been and are estimable compensation. I do hope that Charles enjoyed our little outing, which was not a very exciting one. I often think, however, that children enjoy the quiet pleasures than they do fireworks and strange sights. With love to the children, I remain yours most sincerely Vincent Van M. Beede 6 Ellery Street Cambridge Mass February 1, 1901
