Oct. 30, 1891. Edison General Electric Co., Lamp Manufacturing Dep’t., Harrison, N.J. Dear Sir:- With reference to the enclosed order for lamp bulbs, when sending these to the Laboratory please pack them carefully. There were 50 bulbs broken in the last barrel that you sent us, the result of careless packing. The barrel contained 150 bulbs, so you will see that the breakage was quite excessive. The broken bulbs are, of course, useless to us, and we will be obliged if you will make it your business to see that those for which we now send you order are packed carefully and in a proper manner. Should they come to hand in a condition similar to the last shipment, we will return them to you. Yours very truly, THE EDISON LABORATORY Thomas Maguire
