New York Nov. 15th 1901 Thos J. Edison, Esq. Orange, N.J. Dear Sir: Sometime ago I wrote you in regard to a bad check I received from Thos J. Edison, Jr., whom I believe is your son. I received no reply from you this letter, but have since seen your son who promised to call and pay the obligation in a few days from the time I saw him, which is now about two months. The costs of protest charges and all up to date is only $9.01 but I cannot afford to lose even so small an amount as this, having favored him at a time when he seemed to be in need. Will you be as his father intercede in this matter, and have him call and pay the bill. I do not care to cause any trouble or notoriety in such a trivial matter as this. Trusting you will look at this in the same light as I do, I remain, Very truly yours G.A. Aufrecht
