New York, Jan. 2, 1892 Received Jan 4-1892 Ans’d Jan 5th 1892 [TAE Marginalia] Never need any letter E My dear Mr. Edison: The enclosed cutting from the “London & China Telegraph” will I think interest you, as it is directly in the line of the business placed in my hand some time since whereby I forwarded for you to my friend, the Hon. Issac T. Smith, Consul General for Siam, then visiting the King of that country, samples of precious stones. Mr. Smith has just returned and called upon me. Instead of sending the reply for which I have long been looking, through my hands, as I had anticipated, he tells me he answered your letter direct. This, therefore, explains my apparent neglect of the matter since receipt of your first letter handing me samples of the precious stones desired. Please say whether Mr. Smith’s letter reached you and whether you would like me to see him and arrange for a meeting, either at the Laboratory or at my office. He is a gentlemen of leisure, a very chatty, interesting person, and you would, I think, be glad to meet him. Kindly return the enclosed article after perusal for placing on my file. With the compliments of the season and best wishes for the enlargement of our mutual interests in China and Japan during the present year, believe me. Yours very truly, Everett Frazer
