Jacksonville, Fla., June 29 1892
A.O. Tate Esq.
Orange, New Jersey
My dear Sir,
You will probably call to mind a conversation we had in Chicago during the convention, regarding a small installation for u-charging storage batteries, either by means of a power current, or by a storage battery for or running the motor; we would prefer the latter method if it is feasible as it would make us independent of the Electric Light Co.
A motor + generator serving a current of about 15 AM with necessary voltage would be sufficient for our purpose.
You stated that you thought such an installation could be furnished by you for about $20.
I would esteem it a favor if you could spare some time to write me on this matter, it is one of some importance to us, our present method of sending cells to the sight station is expensive + unsatisfactory and we all quite at this mercy; therefore I am desirous of restoring our cells ourselves, both here + in Georgia.
I am
Yours very truly
F. Wohlgemuth Mgr
