[TAE Marginalia] <This battery is inoperative commercially + has no value, pure theory> Edison London, April 15th 1901 Answered May 6-1901 My dear Mr. Edison, Some information of a new electric battery has come into my possession. I send you a copy of the German Patent, together with some information that has reached me from Sweden about it. I had hopes of being able to get possession of this properly, but they seem to be asking an enormous price for it, so I am declining to negotiate further. Yours faithfully, A.H. Potter
