[D8814AEZ], Letter from William Earl Hidden to Thomas Alva Edison, November 15th, 1888

Editor's Notes

Please me kind enough to write for me an autographic memento of the naming of the new mineral Edisonite. I want it to place among my papers referring to the various discoveries etc that have come out of the 1879 search for Platinum in the South in your interest.##I would also respectfully inform you that I am entirely out of employment and would be glad to serve you in any capacity that you can feel that I can satisfactorily serve you in. Outside of mineral matters I can, in my own way, do most anything that could be reasonably expected of a man to do. For what would be only a fair hiring salary I would be willing to give you my exclusive services for the next 12 months; say for $2000.00 per annum and the future to be determined by my usefulness to you or to your Cos. Tate marg: "Do you wish anything written in this connection?"
