Two page typewritten letter from William Edmund Scripps of the Evening News Association to George W. Stark of the Detroit Historical Museum dated May 17, 1950 offering some of Thomas E. Clark's equipment which he gifted to the Detroit News to the Detroit Historical Museum. Scripps also recalls in detail a visit he paid to Clark's laboratory in the Banner Laundry Building around 1900 with his father James E. Scripps during which Clark demonstrated his wireless telegraph system by sending messages between his lab and another site at Griswold Street and State Street. He also discusses Clark's visit several days prior to the WWJ-TV station for his 81st birthday. The letter closes with Scripps' signature.
