Thos A. Edison Esqr.
Menlo Park, N.J.
Sir,
Some 7 or 8 years ago I rec’d some card samples of Platinum and other metals from you and sent you some small tin cannisters filled with black sand from near here, which contained small particles of Platinum. We have lately found a lead or deposit of a curious meal that is promised Titanium
I enclose you stamp for reply.-Please state your opinion of this metal, and its cost per oz, or per l as there is likely to be quite a deposit of it.
Will try and send you sample soon
Respectfully yours
Geo A. Dyson P.M.
(miner on Pacific Coast for 30 years)
[TAE Marginalia] Titanium has no value. A million tons could be mined in NY state for 1 dollar per ton E
