May 25, 1892 Mr. Samuel Edison, Ft. Gratiot, Michigan Dear Mr. Edison,- By direction of your son I send to you the enclosed correspondence in regard to a steam yacht that in for sale. It was received from J.E. Marden, who states that he is in your service. Mr. Edison would advise you not to buy a steam yacht. He says to do so would be a great mistake and you would be sure to regret it. They cause a great deal more trouble that they are worth. With best wishes believe me Yours very truly, A.O. Tate Private Sec’y.
