May 1, 1891. 
Harkness Fire Extinguisher Co., 
No. 77 West Houston Street, 
New York City. 
 
Dear Sirs:- 
Replying to your letter of yesterday’s date, the small room which your Inspector refers to, is in a corner of the Laboratory Lecture Room, immediately over the Library. It was constructed merely for temporary use. As explained to your representative, we will have the roof removed from this apartment, when the sprinkler above it will, I assume, afford ample protection against fire. The matter will receive immediate attention. 
Trusting that this will be satisfactory 
I am, yours very truly, 
Thomas A. Edison
