R. H. Rochester, Esq., Treas., 
Western Union Telegraph Co. 
#195 Broadway, New York City, N. Y., 
Dear Mr. Rochester:- 
Yours of the 10th received, referring to the payments under the Contract of March 22/77.  
I have not the papers at hand, hence it will be a favor to me if you will send me a copy of the “modified agreement" which you understand I signed. 
I only remember the original Contract provided it might be modified after 1 year, so that the subsequent payments might be made $100 per week, but I did not remember that the modification was actually made.  
However, the modified agreement you refer to will speak for itself.  
Yours very truly
Thos A. Edison
R[andolph]
