Mr. J. A. Middleton,
Care, Erie Railroad co.,
New York City

Dear Mr. Middleton:-
Mr. William R. Jarvis of this city, and old time friend of mine, is in New York engaged in making tests of an electrical invention, which promises to be of great value in the operation of railroads. the testing is now being conducted at Columbia College, but it is Mr. Jarvis' intention to remove his place of operation to same building down town near Trinity church, in order that a few gentlemen with offices in that vicinity may have a convenient place to privately witness the demonstrations.

I have asked Mr. Jarvis to call uponyou and to invite you to step into his down town place when established, and show you what he has.

You will find Mr. Jarvis a very pleasant gentleman and I am sure you will not regret any time you may spend with him and his apparatus.

Yours very truly,
Charles L Freer
