Nov. 20, 1891. W. E. Gilmore, Esq., Assistant Manager, Schenectady Works, Edison Gen’l. Elec. Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Dear Sir:- Your letter of 19th instant in regard to non-inflammable compound has been received and contents of same noted. In compliance with your request, we will have made up and forwarded to you at the earliest possible moment fifty pounds of the material in question. We are being delayed in the matter owing to the difficulty of obtaining the apparatus necessary to proceed with the manufacture of the compound. We expect, however, to be able to make shipment of the desired quantity in about a week or ten days, which we trust will be satisfactory. Please hurry to forward the samples of braided wire, order for which you have, and very much oblige Yours truly, THE EDISON LABORATORY by Thos. Maguire
