July 7th 1899. 
W. L. Edison Esq. 
45 East 59th Street 
New York 
Dear Will:- 
I beg to enclose you herewith checks as follows:- 
Orange Journal                  13.50 
Allen Wallace                     55.00 
Mrs. Barry                         44.50 
O.J. Conley                       20.00 
L. Kaiser                             15.00 
Cyrus Rose                       36.00 
I send you the above check to pay the debts you enumerate. Every few weeks I get a letter from you stating that you have made a fool of yourself. 
What is the use of going right along month after month making a fool of yourself. Try the other tack for a month or so and see how it feels. I am very much displeased at your borrowing money from Conley 
Yours truly 
Thos. A. Edison
