April 21st, 1890 Edison Phonograph Works Orange, New Jersey Dear Sirs:- Through the representations we have made to the Insurance Companies that our buildings and sprinkler systems are supplied by water from two distinct sources, we have obtained low insurance rates, We learn that from one of the possible supplies, namely the creek running through your property, no matter has been both taken for five weeks, on account of leakage through your dam. If this information reaches the companies in which we are insured, it will cause the cancellation of our policies, or an increase in our rates. Will you kindly this matter your immediate attention. The water supply should be tested periodically, so as to show that the whole system is in proper working order. Yours very truly, Thos A. Edison
