Major S.B. Eaton,
Edison Building, Broad St.,
New York City,
Dear Sir:-
Will you kindly look up your files and read a letter dated Feb. 27th, 1891, which you addressed to Mr. Edison, in regard to the Mary Chandler mortgage for $1,000. I find that the papers in this connection were referred to several different people for information, and that when they were returned to the Laboratory you were not informed, as you should have been, of Mr. Edison’s decision respecting the foreclosure of his mortgage.
I beg to advise you now that Mr. Edison does not desire to take advantage of the proposition made by Mr. Burnham, the attorney of the Mutual Life Ins. Co., who offered to permit Mr. Edison to foreclose, subject to the mortage of the corporation which he represents. I presume that the Mutual Life people have already foreclosed without awaiting the announcement of Mr. Edison’s decision, which has so long been delayed. Will yu kindly ascertain the status of the affair at the present time and let us know what the chances are for Mr. Edsion getting back the amount of his loan. Yours truly,
A.O. Tate
