May 26- 1896 Eliot C. Clarke Esq. Treas Room 843 53 State Street Boston. Mass. My Dear Sir:- I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 14th inst, and also the receipt of the Rumford Medals sent by Express the same day. I was out of town, or their receipt should have been acknowledged before. I desire to express my sincere appreciation to the Society and assure them that it is highly prized by me. I regret that I was not able to accept them personally but the lines of work on which I have been and still continue to be engaged require all my attention, and I could not find it convenient to get away even for a day. Yours very truly Thomas A Edison
