January 9th, 1901 Mr. Orville Benson, Manager, Edison, N.J. Dear Sir:- On my return here this morning, I delivered to Mr. Edison the bundle of steel wool, and much to his disgust and my amazement, it proved to be hair. Mr. Edison is very much annoyed, as he was in urgent need of steel wool for an experiment I wish you would take the matter up with them and see that a box of the steel wool is sent immediately by express. Please have Wean show the material to you before it is shipped. It looks like coarse, hair, but is made of steel. Yours truly, W.S. Mallory V.P.
