[MBLB3044], Letter from Charles Batchelor to Thomas Alva Edison, September 19th, 1881

Editor's Notes

Rcd your cable tonight "Edison Machine Works charge Edison Electric Light Co of US $500 actual cost to Edison Mach Wks $300; $50 Edison Edison Electric Light of US. Charge $1200 dynamo regulator and sixty full lamps and supply lamps thereafter for $1 each. Charge Mulhouse $1.50 per lamp this includes our royalty. Send copy Siemens' German patent plating carbon to wires. Proff Letsche now at expostion is our German expert see him." Don't understand the clause about $50 to EEELightCo; pls explain. Because Swan charges 25 shillings per lamp I will adopt a uniform charge of $1.50 per lamp delivered free on board in NY for whole of Europe, until the regular company gets started and has lots of agents out.
