November 15th, 1900
Mr. W.S. Mallory,
Hygeia Hotel,
Old Point Comfort, Va. 
Dear Sir:-
Enclosed please find notice received from the Orange Post Office. We called the Post Master up on the 'phone but he would not tell whom this letter or package came from, but assured us it was not from either one of our Company Offices. If you wish, you can give them instructions by telegraph, how to dispose of same, or let it remain until you return here.
Everything is going on smoothly at the office and our Works. Yesterday we received an order from Pilling & Crane for  1,000 tons of non-Bessemer briquettes to be shipped to Allentown, but we have a report from Edison that they have only about 550 tons of non-Bessemer briquettes on hand and 450 tons Bessemer. Messrs. Pilling & Crane thought they have only about 250 tons of non-Bessemer briquettes on hand and 450 tons Bessemer. Messrs. Pilling & Crane thought they would be able to send us an order for Bessemer briquettes within a few days,
Trusting that Mrs. Mallory and yourself and enjoying your trip and gaining needed rest from same, I am.
Yours very truly,
E.A. Jaques
