My dear Mr. Edison,-
J. U. Mackenzie called on me a few days ago and stated that he was trying to obtain a position as Sup’t. of Police Telegraph or of the Fire Alarm Telegraph in Brooklyn. He knows the Mayor-elect very well who will make the appointment, and he wants to obtain from you an endorsement of his fitness for the position. I told him I would bring the matter to your attention. If you can consistently do so will you sign the enclosed and return it to me.
Yours truly,
AO Tate
Thomas A. Edison, Esq.,
Orange, N. J.
