J. Adriance Bush, Esq.,
10 Wall Street, New York.
My Dear Mr. Bush:-
I saw Mr. Edison for a few minutes this morning and asked him regarding that communication from Mr. Haines. The latter gentleman is desirous of filling the position of Vice President, and in addition requests that his name be mentioned to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Tate as a Director, in the North American Phonograph Co. Mr. Edison has made no reply to Mr. Haines’ letter, and is willing to abide by any decision that you may have to make regarding same. Have you any suggestions to offer in making a reply to Mr. Haines?.
Mr. Edison also desires me to advise you that he met Mr. R. N. Dyer, of the firm of Dyer & Seely, yesterday, and Mr. Dyer stated to him that if the North American Co. can arrange to furnish him $200. per week, he will carry along the litigation, and Mr. Dyer is almost certain that he will be successful. The above amount does not include the expenses or payment of his firm, but represents the amount of money that will be necessary for witness fees, and such other expenses as must be met at once. Would it not be well to have Mr. Dyer call on you or have him call upon Mr. Tremaine so that a thorough understanding can be reached?.
Yours very truly,
W. E. Gilmore
