[D7836ZCS], Letter from American District Telegraph Co, Elisha Whittelsey Andrews to Thomas Alva Edison, December 16th, 1878

Title: [D7836ZCS], Letter from American District Telegraph Co, Elisha Whittelsey Andrews to Thomas Alva Edison, December 16th, 1878
Editor's Notes: wants to see TAE re autographic telegraphy but TAE keeps breaking appointments; Green claims contract between TAE, Lefferts, Field, and Andrews to be given up but Andrews never agreed to this; understands Kinney has a device allowing TAE to perfect autographic and thinks WU would pay for expt and would agree to an arrangement that would allow this expt--this may be genesis of subsequent TAE work on autographic with Kinney
