August 3, 1891. Major S.B. Eaton, Edison Building, Broad Street, New York City. Dear Sir:- Re Symington Mortgage held by Mr. Edison’s Father. Mr. Edison thinks that it would be inadvisable to buy the property upon which this mortgage was taken in order to save the two hundred dollars already invested. There is no use throwing good money after bad. Yours very truly, A.O. Tate Private Secretary.
