Dec. 29, 1891. Charles Batchelor, Esq., N. J. & Penn’a. Concentrating Works. Ogdensburgh, N. J. Dear Sir:- Mr. Edison requested me to refer to you, for answer, the enclosed letter received from Messrs. Warner and Frayer, of New York, requesting information in regard to the Edison ore milling process, for use in connection with certain proceedings that are now pending in New York before Commissioners for the condemnation of mineral rights in certain lands in Putnam County on behalf of the Croton Water Board, for the purpose of water supply. Messrs. W. & P. desire to obtain the information concerning Mr. Edison’s process of reducing iron ores with the view of introducing the facts in evidence as bearing upon the value of the mineral rights which they represent before the Commissioners. They would like a reply before January 8th. Yours truly, A. O. Tate Private Sec’y.
