Oct. 26, 1891. 
Samuel Insull, Esq., 2nd Vice-President 
Edison Gen’l. Electric Co., 
New York City. 
Dear Sir:- 
Your letter of 21st instant, in regard to a suitable compound which is needed for our use on your grade No. 1 wire, was forwarded to Mr. Edison at Ogdensburgh, and I now beg to advise you that he has returned the same to the Laboratory with instructions to turn it over to our Mr. Aylesworth, which has been done. Mr. Aylesworth believes that a non-inflammable compound can be furnished that will answer your purpose, and he will consult Mr. Edison about it at the earliest possible moment.  
Yours very truly, 
A. O. Tate 
Private Secretary
