Included are items pertaining to the purchase of insurance on Edison's life, the market price of General Electric securities, and general economic conditions. One item relates to a fall suffered by Edison at the Odgen works. The spine is stamped "9," is marked "Indexed O K," and is labeled "From Nov. 20, 1893 To July 5, 1894 N Y Office." The book contains 998 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 5 percent of the book has been selected.
