Major S. B. Eaton,
#120 Broadway, New York City.
Dear Sir:-
Referring to our conversation of to-day in regard to Portuguese toy phonograph patent, when you suggested that I should write the Toy Phonograph Company stating that we had been notified that this patent required to be renewed before the 9th day of April next, Messrs. Dyer & Seely in their letter to me state that the Portuguese patent was taken out by them under instructions of the Edison Phonograph Toy Mfg. Co. Therefore instead of writing to the Toy Company I have addressed a letter to Mess. Dyer & Seely, saying that inasmuch as the patent was taken out at the Toy Company’s request, they should notify the Toy Company with respect to its renewal. This avoids our entering into direct communication with the Toy Company.
Have you the copies of the waivers which Mr. Edison executed for royalties due him under his contract with the Toy Company, and could you kindly let me have duplicates of them?
Yours very truly,
A. O. Tate
Private Secretary.
