\nDear Sir:-
\nOur experimental bills for this year are all held back pending a settlement respecting the basis upon which we should bill experiments for the Edison General Electric Company. As I understand it you have already agreed with Mr. Edison that these costs shall be made up as follows: Labor, Material, General Expense, the last including ordinary general expense, appliances in use, taxes, insurance, and small tools. Nothing is to be allowed for depreciation.
\nI wish you would kindly confirm this at once, so that we can make our books up properly. When works get so far behind it takes almost a couple of months to catch up.
\nYours very truly,
\n(Signed Alfred Tate)
\nPrivate Secretary."},{"label":"Author","value":"Tate, Alfred Ord"},{"label":"Recipient","value":"Insull, Samuel"},{"label":"Mentioned","value":["Edison General Electric Co","Edison, Thomas Alva"]},{"label":"Date","value":"1891-04-16"},{"label":"Type","value":"Letter"},{"label":"Subject","value":["Loans","Research and development"]},{"label":"Folder/Volume ID","value":"LB049-F"},{"label":"Microfilm ID","value":"142:159"},{"label":"Document ID","value":"LB049019"},{"label":"URL","value":"https://edisondigital.rutgers.edu/document/LB049019"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Thomas Edison National Historical Park"},{"label":"Publisher","value":"Thomas A.
