April 19th, 1890 Samuel G. Burn, Esq., Bryant Building Room 9, Charlotte, North Carlonia. Dear Sir:- I have received your letter of 16th instant, in regard to certain samples from some mines, which you are holding for my decision as to where they shall be assayed. I think that you had better have these assays made at the United States Mint in Charlotte. I should like to hear from you as to what you think of Mr. Roitta's assays. I have a letter from Riotte this morning, in which he insists that his reports are absolutely correct. They, as you will have seen, are showing up very poor, and I am getting discouraged. Yours very truly, Thos. A. Edison
