Title
[D8442ZAV], Letter from William Symes Andrews to Thomas Alva Edison, February 9th, 1884
Editor's Notes
Left Bellefonte on 7th. Plant was in 1st class shape electrically but engine did not govern well. Had same trouble at Mt. Carmel but Sims's man fixed it. Got to Sunbury on Thursday and the lights there were red and steam at station was only 20lbs. Engine and dynamo were very dirty; I cleaned them. Something is wrong with the boiler there. Recommends fire engineer there. "Willliam Bateman is in debt all over Sunbury to amt of $200 or $300, and I am told that he made the station a regular rendevouz for women. I found a couple of doz. empty beer bottles behind boiler." xxx use annotation; probs w/ Const dept stations dh 26oct06 xxx
