Title
[D8546ZDI], Letter from Alfred Ord Tate to Samuel Insull, December 21st, 1885
Editor's Notes
[LETTERHEAD: Rossin House, Toronto] Chiefly addresses personal matters and some company gossip; Tate tells Insull to send "goods" to him for reshipment to his brother; heard through a female friend that Mrs. Grosvenor P. Lowrey's said Insull "in some way had gained a strange influence over Mr. Edison which you were exercising to your own pecuniary benefit" . . . And that Insull was "fast leading Mr. Edison to his commercial grave---!!!" Tate believed the remarks reflected the view of Mr. Lowry, who had been fired from the company and that S.B. Eaton, who had also been fired, had "carefully laid the foundation of Mr. Lowry's opinion of you"; Tate says he will spend Xmas with the "fair one," and reports some more about her, noting Insull's return to virtue.
