1. This 3-page letter was typewritten in blue text on slightly yellowed paper by Frederick F. Ingram

Description:
This 3-page letter was typewritten in blue text on slightly yellowed paper by Frederick F. Ingram who was the President of the Public Lighting Commission. Each page shows the letterhead of the Public Lighting Commission of the City of Detroit and is dated "December 31, 1900." The paper has a crown and shield watermark with the words, "Pure Linen Stock." The body of the letter gives some history of electric lighting in the city, the creation of the lighting commission, and costs. The last page is entitled, "A Prophesy," where the president predicts that garbage and refuse will one day provide the fuel source for the lighting plant and that there will also be a free bath/wash house as part of the plant. All three pages have several typewritten corrections and the last page is signed in black ink by the president, "F. F. Ingram."
