Feb. 2, 1891. Col. Michael T. Barrett, Newark, N.J. Dear Sir:- Mr. Edison is obliged to execute from time to time a great many legal documents, and we have upon occasion been put to great inconvenience in order to obtain a Commissioner of Deeds to take his acknowledgements. In order to overcome this difficulty we secured during the session of the last Legislature the appointment of Mr. John F. Randolph, our Chief Accountant, as a Commissioner in this Township. We desire to have this Commission renewed and will be greatly [illegible text] indebted for your good offices in securing the same. Yours very truly, A. O. Tate Private Secretary.
