Signed as President of the Remington Company. Discusses debt owed to the Singer Company which he is not able to pay at this time. Remarks on why he entered into the manufacture of sewing machines, "It was not primarily to make money; ... the impelling motive which drove me into it, was to give my people, ... more especially our skilled labor, - to keep them with us contented in the intervals -- in the periods when we should be without military work." Clark was President of the Singer Company. Singer held Remington's sewing machine division debt. Typed on stationary from the Office of Remingtons Armory, Ilion, N.Y.
