I received your circular letter of recent date with reference to electrical service in my cottage at Idlewild.2 I seem to have mislaid the letter, but I shall desire the service on the terms suggested.
You undoubtedly have the location of the cottage, since you have been furnishing us power ever since you were serving Idlewild. It is on the lake, almost directly opposite the clubhouse3 and next to Henry Gregory's place.4
We expect to be there by June 22nd, and should like to be able to use the light at that time. Andrew Merlack5 of Baldwin has the key, if you have any need of it.6
I think I got your address correctly as Ludington, but, if not, I have sent a copy this letter to L. E. Myers,7 at Scottville, with whom I have heretofore dealt in regard to the matter.
Thanking you in advance, I remain,
Sincerely yours, CWC:ESCorrespondent: The Michigan Public Service Company was a private company that provided electricity to a number of rural communities in western Michigan. Consolidated from 1890s predecessors in 1923 and incorporated in 1927, it had an office in Ludington, Michigan. It had only been providing power to Idlewild since 1929.
