- Editor's Notes
- "Mystified" by sale of French patent. Papers report sale for much higher price than TAE expected. Barton reported that TAE said Bliss would have $3-4000 and stock; now he said TAE will give $10,000 in stock and $7-800 cash. Your latest letter says $3-4000 stock and only $625 cash. Sorry to have expectations raised to such heights but only wants what's fairly his. Marg: "Barton probably didnt understant. Dont belv newspaper repts. 10,000 [dollars?] from Puskas & deducted from that advances & telephones sent to him. A portion of that 10000 belonged to you; after figuring it up sent you. I have recd no shares yet as soon as recd you will get your portion accdg to contract."
