W. [illegible text]. Tichenor, Esq., Postmaster,
Orange, N.J.
Dear Sir:-
We are frequently put to very serious inconvenience owing to our being unable to obtain letters for Mr. Edison, the Edison Manufacturing Co. until after ten o’clock. Our messenger states that on account of our mail being a large one your clerk who delivers letters and papers will not serve him until everyone else who happens to be in the office at the time is served. We do not understand why we should be made to wait the convenience of other people because we get a large mail. We do not ask to be served out of turn, but we do ask you to look into this matter and see that our mail is in the future given to our messenger when he asks for it.
Yours truly,
A. O. Tate
Private Secretary.
