October 6th, 1891. W. S. Fielding, Esq., 18 Exchange Place, Room 6, New York City. Dear Sir- I am much obliged for your letter of 1st instant in regard to iron ore property situated in East Virginia. Please state the price at which the property in question can be purchased, and also its exact location. If the price is not prohibitive, I will have my expert visit the property and examine it. He may have already been on several wild goose chases down South, examining general deposits which were represented to us as being veritable mountains of ore, but which we found to be, in reality, small veins that did not amount to anything at all. Yours very truly, Thomas A. Edison
