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
