Letterhead of "Edimenlo Farms," Private Estate of W. E. Edison, Orange, New Jersey. July 1902 [illegible] [Edison?] 1998 Newark N. J. 109 Clinton Avenue Newark N. J. My dear John: The bearer of this note is Mr. Gilmour the owner of the launch which we took south. The party which we took along with us has not done the right thing by us and we have to bear the brunt of the whole thing. Mr Gilnour has been down to see us in regards the payment of the launch but we are compelled to go to Father for assistance and we pray that he will grant our request. We owe Mr Gilmour $425.00 for rental of boat, lost articles. one lost row and several minor details. Show this to father and ask him will he pay him in full and deduct $50.00 each month until paid for. You can Deduct $25.00 from each check. Kindly let me know as soon as possible if Father will do this for us and greatly oblige, YOU FRIEND, Will Edison
