April 2, 1891. Mr. J. C. Fowle, Michigamme, Michigan. Dear Sir:- Mr. Edison has read your letter of 25th ultimo, enclosing letter of introduction from Mr. John Birkinshire of Philadelphia. In reply Mr. Edison has instructed me to inform you that he regrets there is no opening in his mining business at the present time where he could place you. It is possible, however, that there may be an opening sometime in the future, and if so Mr. Edison will hear you in mind. Mr. Edison has just completed the erection of his ore milling plant at Ogden, N.J; it is now in operation and has a capacity of two thousand tons of crude ore every twenty hours. Yours very truly, (Signed A.O. Tate) Private Secretary.
