May 31, 1893. Joseph Thompson, Esq., Real Estate & Law Building, Atlantic City, N. J. Dear Sir:- With reference to the storage cells which were forwarded by you some time ago to Mr. Edison's Laboratory, I beg to inform you that these cells are still at the Laboratory, and I would like them to remain there, if you have no objection. They have been subjected to numerous tests and in their present condition would be of very little use to you. The batteries can be made of service to us in experimental work and we therefore wish to retain them. I am quite willing to purchase the cells, and if you will inform me as to their value will send you a check for the amount. Please let me hear from you in the matter. Your letter of April 10th was permitted to remain unanswered owing to my prolonged absence from home. Yours truly, A.O. Tate Private Secretary. M
