John D. Campbell Esq
General Solicitor
Phila and Reading R.R.
Philadelphia
Penna.
Dear Sir:-
In reply to your request for information whether in the final negotiations for a lease of the Putnam County ore lands Mr John Birkinbine of Philadelphia acted for me, or was compensated in any way by me, I would answer No.
Birkinbine had previously been associated with me as Consulting Engineer in a special line of inquiry, but at the time of the final negotiations he was not so engaged, and it was he that first brought to my attention the Reading Cys iron land, which I Subsequently leased and I paid him nothing
Yours truly
Thos. A. Edison
R[andolph].
