August 8, 1892 Mr. C. DeKalb No. 18 Broadway, Room 809 New York City Dear Sir:- Your letters of 3rd and 4th instant were duly received and forwarded by me to Mr. Edison, who is now on a visit to his mine at Ogden, N.J. I received a note from him this morning, in which he directs me to inform you that in his pinion the position of assayer, for which you have made application, would not be a suitable one for you, as he wants a man merely to make routine analyses. Mr. Edison adds, however, that me may be able to use you in another direction, should you be disengaged when he is ready to proceed with the work he as in mind. Thanking you for your letters and the information contained therein I am, yours very truly, Private Secretary
