Oct. 5, 1891.
Alexander Elliott, Jr., Esq.,
First National Bank Building,
Paterson, N. J.
Dear Sir:-
I have received your two letters, dated Sept. 30th and Oct. 2nd, respectively.
I suppose, of course, that your offer of $7,500 to Moller is predicated on the basis of our exercising the option and finding the property satisfactory. If we do not find that the property is suitable for our purpose, of course we do not take it.
You may prepare the deeds for conveying the Silver Springs property to the N. J. & Pa. C. Works.
Farker’s minimum is too high.
As soon as the Works at Ogden are in operation and all the alterations contemplated, I will send you a pass for Senators McPherson and Jonas.
I enclose herewith a letter from one of my men who is making magnetic surveys in Pennsylvania. I may want you to visit this region and secure leases on the properties referred to. You had better call and see me about it.
Yours truly,
Thos. A. Edison
