Dear Sir:-
Knowing you to habitually draw on every conceivable product, we take much pleasure in enclosing you samples of a new product, so far as we know.
We enclose you sample of small copper wire platinum plated. Also sheet copper platinum plated. Iron platinum plated.
We can plate the platinum on, we believe, any thickness desired, and on we believe any metal.
We believe you will be interested in knowing of what appears to us as a new product,
Very truly yours,
Ellwood Ivins

[TAE Marginalia?] Samples [need?] = I would suggest you pull some best Norway [illegible] as were about 15 to 20/1000 diameter coat with platinum & send here to try if it can be established for pure platina for Incandescent lamps = I have tried to make it but didn't succeed well _
