March 28, 1890 Secretary of the Treasury Washington, D.C. Dear Sir:- The Canadian Company of Sudbury, Ontario, Can sent to me, some four or five weeks ago, a carload of copper matte, which was annoyed by your representative in Newark, and upon which I paid duties, amounting to some $1800.00. I desire to return this matte to Canada, and should be glad to be advised by you, if in doing so, I could recover the amount of duties which I have paid. Yours very truly, Thos A. Edison
