July 13, 1892. G.H. Morison, Esq., Secretary, Edison United Phonograph Company, New York City. Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of the 12th instant, I cannot of course say what Mr. Edison’s movements will be between now and the 8th of next month, but I have made such arrangements that the fact that your regular monthly meeting is to be held on that date will not be overlooked, and if Mr. Edison is [----] he will attend it. Should he be absent you will be notified in due season, in order that you can make whatever arrangements may be necessary under those circumstances. I enclose herewith Mr. Insull’s resignation. I have not been able to find the certificate of stock which is in his name. I have a very clear recollection that the certificates, which were issued to qualify directors were endorsed and turned over to the Company. I would suggest that you inquire of some of the other directors what disposition was made of their certificates. Perhaps some one is holding them as trustee. Mr. Butler who at the time these certificated were issued was Mr. Insull’s Secretary and had charge of all his securities informs me that this certificate, so far as he knows, was never in Mr. Insull’s possession. Yours truly, Private Sec’y.
