May 9, 1892. The Trenton Malleable Iron Co., Trenton, New Jersey. Dear Sirs:- We have before us the letter of your Mr. James B. Dayton of November 20th last, directing our attention to the fact that you are making a specialty of all kinds of malleable iron work. We are desirous of testing the magnetic properties of your malleable iron, and for that purpose are sending to you by this mail a pattern, of which we wish sample rings cast. Please be kind enough to furnish us with two castings each of four different degress of malleableising that is to say, leave the castings in furnace various lengths of time, divide up into four different samples supplying two of each, and quote us price on same. Should the iron prove satisfactory from a magnetic standpoint and be adapted for our purposes in other ways, we can give you an order for a thousand pieces. Your early attention to the matter would be appreciated. Yours very truly, THE EDISON LABORATORY W
