Mr Edison:

[Aint] your new E. Ry. System the one they want in Chic.

A committee of Chic [Counl] went to Minneapolis on Friday last to examine Electric Railways. A.L. Johnson of Cleaveland (brother of Hon Tom L. J) was in Chic yesterday: He sees the entire inadequacy of the traffic facilities for Worlds Fair. Altho a heretofore great "Short" man he inquired as to what you had [used?]. He is intending to invest in some Electric Roads or build one in Chic

Yours
W.F. Brewster
