No. 32 Park Pl., New York Oct. 13, 1893.
J. W. Gladstone, Esq.,
Edison Manufacturing Company,
#110 East 23rd St., New York.
Dear Sir:-
On the first of each month Mr. Smiles is entitled to receive from the Edison Manufacturing Company a check for One hundred dollars. I understand from Mr. Randolph that when you send out any remittances to him you also send a list of checks which you desire to have made up which entirely absorb the remittances. This, of course, is all right, as the Manufacturing Company can dispose of its money in such manner as it finds necessary. At the same time you ought to exercise care in providing for the payment of employees, and when any amount is due for labor on a certain date you should arrange to have a sufficient amount in hand to meet the demand. I believe that you are overdrawn now or will be as soon as the check for your weekly pay roll is made up. Cannot you get in immediately a sufficient sum to cover your overdraft and pay Mr. Smiles?
Yours truly,
[AO Tate?]
<It ought not to be necessary for Mr Smiles to be obliged to write Mr Randolph in this connection.>
