\nThomas A. Edison,
\nOrange N.J.
\nDear Mr. Edison: -
\nI hand you herewith a letter from the Automatic Phonograph Exhibition company advising you that they have passed your personal credit on their book sunder date August 14th, 1890, $3, 500.00
\nYou will recollect that this is the amount which was paid by check to the order of Jesse H. Lippincott. Mr. Lippincoot turned it in to two Trustees of whom Mr. Blodgett, late of Spencer, Trask & Company was one.
\nThe winding up of the duties of this Trusteeship was somewhat delayed owing to the incapacitation of Mr. Blodgett, but the matter has now been straightened out and you are probably credited on the books of the Automatic Phonograph Exhibition Company.
\nI am in correspondence now with the Automatic Company in regard to obtaining for you an acknowledgement of this debit in some form so that it will be a first lien upon the Company’s assets. I am also in communication with Major Eaton on the same subject.
\nThe amount at present is simply credited in open account which, considering the nature of the payment, I do not think is a proper way to treat it.
\nYours truly,
\nAlfred [Tate, Alfred Ord] [ENCLOSURE]
\nAutomatic Phonograph Exhibition Co.,
\nEdison Building
\nNo. 44 Broad Street
\nNew York, March 19th., 1892
\nThomas A. Edison, Esq.,
\nOrange, N.J.
\nDear Sir: -
\nWe have this day passed to your personal credit on our books under date of August 15th. 1890, Thirty Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.)
\nThis is the Amount that the north American Phono-graph Company inform us, had been advanced by you but through a misunderstanding, was not properly credited.
\nYours very truly,
\nAutomatic Phonograph Exhibition Co.
\nFelix Gottschalk
\nPresident."},{"label":"Author","value":"Tate, Alfred Ord"},{"label":"Recipient","value":"Edison, Thomas Alva"},{"label":"Mentioned","value":["Blodget, S C, Jr","Lippincott, Jesse H"]},{"label":"Date","value":"1892-03-23"},{"label":"Type","value":"Letter"},{"label":"Subject","value":"Finances (TAE and family)"},{"label":"Folder/Volume ID","value":"D9239-F"},{"label":"Microfilm ID","value":"133:374"},{"label":"Document ID","value":"D9239AAF"},{"label":"URL","value":"https://edisondigital.rutgers.edu/document/D9239AAF"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Thomas Edison National Historical Park"},{"label":"Publisher","value":"Thomas A.
