This folder contains correspondence with individuals planning to meet with Edison, arranging for others to meet him, or thanking Edison for a recent meeting. Among the correspondents for 1913 are financier and philanthropist Herbert Fleishhacker—one of several businessmen from California and the Pacific Northwest who were introduced to Edison by J. M. Hill. Other correspondents include German balneologist Paul Haertl and philanthropist George Foster Peabody.

Less than 10 percent of the documents have been selected. Requests for appointments that were declined by Edison and letters that received no reply have not been selected.
