Very successful demo for Prince(ss) of Wales, other notables. But Charley refused to help & absented himself in Paris. Asked Gouraud to arrange for his recall: "caprice and stubbornness might easily be surmounted and overcome in one whose name is not Edison," but great courtesy expected of anyone with that name. Sending TAE copies of letters and wires between self and Charley. Letter to Spkr House Commons printed as Parliamentary Paper; this, with letter to Times, assures success of Co.
