April 1, 1891. The H.B. Claflin Company, Church St., Worth St. & W. Broadway, New York City. Dear Sirs:- Your letter of 23rd ultimo has remained unanswered owing to the absence of Mr. Edison, who only returned to the Laboratory yesterday. In regard to sending Mr. Anderson’s picture to the Berlin Exposition, Mr. Edison has instructed me to say to you that he is sorry he cannot consent to this. The picture Is already hung in Mr. Edison’s residence, and he would not like to have it taken away. Yours very truly, (Signed A.O. Tate) Private Secretary.
