- [D8912ABB], Letter from John C Hennessy, New York Press Club to Thomas Alva Edison, October 1889
- Editor's Notes
- Clark, a well-known journalist and member of the New York Press Club, has met with a sad and terrible affliction--the loss of his eyesight--a greater calamity can scarcely befall any man. # Clark, while in the prime of life is thus deprived of the power to obtain a livelihood in his profession; aside from the physical suffering, and the terrible doom of being shut out from most of the pleasures of life, the matter of mere maintenance has come to be one of grave import. # The undersigned Committee has been appointed to obtain substantial aid for Clark and invite personal contributions to alleviate his distress. # In furtherance of this object a benefit performance has been arranged at the Star Theatre to take place on the evening of the 17th of November, at which many celebrated artists will appear. # Contributions may be sent to the Treasurer of the Committee, John C. Hennessy, at the Press Club, 120 Nassau Street, and seats or private boxes for the performance may be had of the Steward of the Press Club where the plan of seats may be seen. [New name mention: Mr. Marvin R. Clark]
