Transcription

Sept. 8, 1893.
Samuel Insull, Esq.,
The Chicago Edison Company,
Chicago, Illinois.
Dear Sir:-
At the request of Mr. Edison I send you herewith copy of a letter which he addressed to Mr. Fish, of the General Electric Company, under date July 12, 1893, setting forth his understanding of the arrangement between himself and the Edison Gen'l. Electric Co. concerning the one-quarter interest provided for in his contract with the said Company of October 1st, 1890. This communication was made at Mr. Fish's request and for the reason stated by him that he was entirely unable to interpret the contact itself and desired to have its spirit explained by those who were concerned in its negotiation. Mr. Edison would be glad to have you advise him at your earliest convenience if your understanding of this portion of the contract coincides with his as expressed in his letter to Mr. Fish.
Yours truly,
[AO Tate?]
Private Secretary.
