Samuel Insull, Esq., Edison Building, Broad St.,
New York City.
Dear Sir:-
A young Frenchman named Pierre Richemond, song of the Engineer from when Mr. Edison obtained the patterns for the triple expansion engine, will probably call upon you this week to obtain your permission engine, will probably call upon you this week to obtain your permission to enter the Works at Schenectady and remain there for a couple of weeks, prior to his sailing for France to resume his duties in connection with the Compagnie Continentale Edison. He has repeatedly requested Mr. Edison to give him authority to go to Schenectady and has been referred to you. Mr. Edison save that he is doing too much motor work at Schenectady to render it safe to grant this young man’s request and wants you to politely warn him off. His father was very courteous to Mr. Edison when the latter was in Paris, and we therefore want to let the boy down easy.
Yours very truly,
(Signed A.O. Tate)
Private Secretary.
