Mrs. Jane L. Stanford,
Palo Alto, Cal.
Dear Mrs. Stanford:
Your brother, Mr. Lathrop, has suggested to me to send you one fourth ton Carbon Hill briquettes in sacks. He says same could be nicely tested in the little library of your home. These briquettes are made by the Tesla Company's plant from Carbon Hill coal, as an experiment. Will you kindly give the matter sufficient attention, so as to report to Mr. Lathrop your opinion of them as domestic fuel.
Very respectfully yours,
RD
