Oct. 6th, 1893. W. A. Stern, Esq. Messrs. Stern & Silverman, 707 Arch St., Philadelphia. My dear Sir:-- I duly received your letter of 4th inst. and submitted it to Mr. Edison, who directed me to inform you that he is very little interested in the affairs of The General Electric Company, and has no desire to have brought to his attention matters such as you refer to. His attendance at the Board Meetings of the General Company is very infrequent, and were he in possession of the information which you offer to impart he would take no action relative thereto. Your letter I will consider confidential as requested. Yours very truly, A.O. Tate Private Secretary. M.
