April 23rd, 1890 R.R. Bowker, Esq., 1st. Vice-President, Edison Electric Illuminating Company, Nos. 16 & 18 Broad Street, New York City Dear Sir:- I beg to acknowledge the receipt of 18th instant. As soon as the canvass which you have commenced, is completed, I should like to have it submitted to Mr. J.C. Henderson of the Edison General Electric Company. I went to a great deal of trouble, and spent a great deal of time, instructing Mr. Henderson in the way that these canvasses should be made. He is thoroughly familiar with my methods, and is, therefore, thoroughly competent to pass judgement upon any canvass that is submitted to him. It may be that Mr. Beggs will object to this, but it is quite impossible for me to educate another mas as thoroughly as I have advocated Mr. Henderson, for the reason that I have not sufficient time to give attention to the work. Yours very truly, Thos A. Edison
