Dear Sir:-
Mr. Edison has read your letter of 3rd instant which you addressed to him at Ogden, and has instructed me to say to you in reply, that [illegible] as it will be some years yet before the electric system of propulsion is adopted generally by reduced corporations – they are so conservative – these who are desirous of learning the business and qualifying themselves for employment on electric railroads in a capacity such as you refer to, will have plenty of time in which to acquire the necessary knowledge.
Yours very truly,
A. O. Tate
Private Secretary.
