New York, April 14, 1892 Received April 15 1892 Thomas A. Edison, Esq., Edison’s Laboratory, Orange, New Jersey Dear Sir,- At a meeting of the Electric Club held last Monday evening, it was found that the response to the assessments sent out was so meager that it was necessary to appoint a committee to solicit subscriptions from members who have been unable to attend, to enable the Club to meet its indebtedness. The gentlemen present, including Messrs, Henrick, Insull, Shain, Phelps, Morrison, and others, made liberal subscriptions of $250 and less, and the names of the absent members were divided among a committee whose duty it is to communicate with them and solicit their subscriptions. As I shall probably be unable to call upon you personally I venture to address you personally I venture to address you by letter and ask that you enclose in the accompanying envelope, addressed to the Treasurer of the Club, such subscription as you may feel disposed to make. Very truly yours, J.C. Sayles Chairman of Committee
