New York City, January 28, 1892 Dear Mr. Edison: The Annual Reports of the Light Co will probably be sent to you tomorrow to be signed. You must sign it tomorrow without fail or you will be personally liable for the debts of the Company. No greater confusion has ever existed over anything than in the matter of these Annual Reports this year. Mr. Coster has taken especial charge of the matter. The new law is exceedingly troublesome about these reports. The final decision is that the Directors will not file a report in the usual way. Each Director will make a sort of individual report as is provided for by the Statute in exceptional cases. Some such report must be filed be each Director without exception. Hence you must be on hand to sign what is sent to you tomorrow. There is a long story about this which I shall tell you orally when we meet. Very truly yours, S.B. Eaton
