May 18, 1891. To the Board of Proprietors Of East New Jersey. Gentlemen,- Referring to the arrangement we are just completing relating to what is called the Silver Springs tract, I beg to say that I would like to make arrangements at an early day for acquiring similar nights, that is to say, mineral rights together with an opinion of purchase, touching certain other tracts of land in that general locality. I am not ready just yet to make you any definite proposition, but suggest that, if asparable in you, a broad resolution be passed at your meeting to-morrow, authorizing your executive committee to receive from me such propositions as I may hereafter make, before your next meeting, and to act on them with much power as you may see fit to give the said Committee. Hoping it will be agreeable to you to authorize your Executive Committee to deal with me, as above suggested, I remain Very truly yours, Thomas A. Edison
