Oct. 8, 1892. S. D. Greene, Esq., No. 44 Broad Street, New York City. My dear Greene,- Is there any way in which I could obtain relief under the lease of the office in the Edison building which I took for the Edison Manufacturing Company, or in other words, on behalf of Mr. Edison? I was obliged to move the Manufacturing Company up town into the district where the class of business in which the Company is engaged is centered, and the office in the Edison Bdg. Has been vacant since June last. I forget the number of the rom, but it is the first one to the left as you leave the elevator on the 3rd floor, fronting the court. I have consulted Mr. Hammington several times in regard to sub-letting this office, but so far have had no success, although a number of other rooms which were vacant when I left the building are now occupied. I would like to relieve Mr. Edison of the necessity of having to remit to the General Company a portion of their generous dividends, and would appreciate very highly any assistance which you can render me in this connection. Yours very truly, Private Sec’y
