[TAE Marginalia] <Johnny who is he E>
December 7th, 1901
Mr. Thomas A. Edison,
Orange, N.J.
Dear Sir:-
We have at our works an expensive steam plant consisting of 1500 H.P. Cross Compound Condensing engine, two smaller engines, and quite a large electric plant, consisting of Sprague generators, and quite a complicated switch-board, this together with the heating apparatus, air compressors, pumps, first-class man in charge. We understand that you have some knowledge of the character and ability of Henry Finkel. We would thank you if you would advise us as to what you know about him, and whether you consider him capable of running such a plant.
We enclose you stamped envelope, and thank you in advance for any courtesies you may show us in the matter.
Yours very truly,
Chase Rolling Mill Company
Finkel is a four [illegible] runner not much above regular run of plain engineers. He is good natured. If I had your plant I would want a better man than Finkel.
