Title

[D8313P], Letter from Charles S Porter to Thomas Alva Edison, May 19th, 1883

Editor's Notes

Looking to come to the east coast and work with electricity with TAE; would like to start from the bottom so he can learn everything. At 22 yrs old, has a very impressive resume as an telegrapher in the midwest/west coast. [TAE replies: "I think I could put into someplace where you would have a chance to climb up the ladder of knowledge"]
