Nov. 5, 1891. Prof. Wm. D. Marks, Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Sir:- Mr. Edison has read your letter of 27th ultimo, in regard to the employment of [said?] motor system on the proposed North Eastern Elevated Railway in your city. In reply, Mr. Edison says that he will shortly be able to show you comparing good in connection with his now electric railway system. I would also inform you that the system in question was devised specially for the Edison General Electric Company, and my arrangement looking towards the employment would request to be made with them. Yours very truly, A. O. Tate Private Secretary.
