AMPERE N.J. Sept 21, 1903
Mr. Thomas A. Edison
Orange, N.J.
Dear Mr. Edison:-
I have yours of September 16th and immediately inquired of our Superintendent about tool makers, and told him that I was anxious to send you some if I could. He says they are very hard to get, and that we want more ourselves. We have had everybody's experience of employing a whole lot of men who represent themselves as first class tool makers but who prove to be no good.
He also told me that some men from the Laboratory had applied for positions but we had not taken them on, because they came from the strike which you are having. I will talk with him again and see if he can find you any.
Yours very truly,
S.S. Wheeler
