\nDear Mr. Rochester:-
\nYours of the 10th received, referring to the payments under the Contract of March 22/77.
\nI have not the papers at hand, hence it will be a favor to me if you will send me a copy of the “modified agreement" which you understand I signed.
\nI only remember the original Contract provided it might be modified after 1 year, so that the subsequent payments might be made $100 per week, but I did not remember that the modification was actually made.
\nHowever, the modified agreement you refer to will speak for itself.
\nYours very truly
\nThos A. Edison
