302/312 H. F. 42 Broad Street, New York. October 14th, 1891. J.M. Gladstone, Esq., Edison Manufacturing Company, Orange, N.J. Dear Sir:- I beg to acknowledge receipt of Trial Balances October 1st. I would like to have a trial balance for each of the two Departments, Battery and Wax; it takes up too much time to obtain an intelligent idea from a mixed sheet. Referring to Thomas A. Edison’s credit of Eighty five thousand dollars odd some of this applies to the wax Building. When Mr. Edison sees a balance sheet of this kind he considers the whole of it as referring to the Battery business because the Wax business is stationary and will be for a good many months. Please send me at once the separate sheets and also send copies of them to Mr. Maguire at the Laboratory Yours truly, A.O. Tate No enc.
