[MF23]

This folder contains letters from individuals seeking employment on wartime projects, along with carbon copies of Edison's replies. Included is correspondence with Bruce R. Silver, a successful job seeker who contacted Edison through their mutual friend John Burroughs.

Approximately 20 percent of the documents have been selected. The unselected items consist primarily of correspondence that received no substantive response.
