Dear Sir:- Referring to your favor of the 21st. ulto., [October?], which has remained unanswered owing to Mr. Edison's absence from the City, I beg to enclose you what he considers the quickest method of writing. Mr. Edison used this method when he was a telegraph operator taking Associated Press Reports, and he claims that he could write more rapidly and with less fatigue than by any other means. You will notice every letter is written separately. Yours very truly, Private Secretary.
