April 4, 1891.
Oscar W. Maddaus, Esq.,
#197 Pearl Street, New York.
Dear Sir:-
Your letter of 28th ultimo, enclosing a sample of fibre, has been duly received by Mr. Edison, who has asked me to thank for you the same.
Mr. Edison is thoroughly familiar with this class of fibre, which he referred to as the “Monkey-bast” from Pars. He has used large quantities of it and employed it in connection with many hundred of lamps. It is not as good, however, as bamboo.
Yours very truly,
(Signed A.O. Tate)
