Title
[D8845ADT], Letter from Henry Herschel Adams to Thomas Alva Edison, September 26th, 1888
Editor's Notes
"I expect to have a few of my friends go out to see your ore concentrator on Friday, arriving at Orange about 12.30. I shall bring with me Mr. Nathaniel Witherell, who is the controlling stock-holder of the 'Consolidated Kansas City Smelting & Refining Co.' To give you some facts concerning the magnitude of his business; this company controls the larger part of the silver ores from Mexico and smelts at least two-thirds of the ore from the Leadville district. Their shipments of the month of August, amounted to over fifty thousand tons of silver ore. Mr. Witherell is greatly interested in your process for concentrating iron ore and after seeing the process on Friday next will arrange to have his engineer visit Orange about the 5th or 6th of next month. I am hoping also to have Mr. W.T. Carter join us next Friday, hwo is a very large consumer of iron ore; owning two blasts furnaces at Redington, Pa. He also mines and ships one hundred and fifty thousand to two hundred thousand tons of Anthracite coal every year. He is estimated worth three millions of dollars. I only suggest these things to you so that you may have some idea as to whom you will be treating with in case anything is done with this company. I have to request of you further that you will kindly afford these gentlemen the pleasure of seeing one of your very latest phonographs on Friday next." I remain, yous very truly, Henry H. Adams
