[D8042ZAI], Letter from Josiah Custer Reiff to Thomas Alva Edison, April 16th, 1880

Editor's Notes

rec'd TAE's re [Br. pat.] 7 yr tax, it must be paid, will try but don't see how. "Recalled I have had no source of Revenue for 5 years but thro the sacrifice of depreciated property, whilst those whom I have had to engage with in a death struggle have received hundreds of thousands of dollars through your Brains." what of EHJ contract with Gouraud? "the illustrious Prescott has been made a V.P. that is probably because he successfully robbed others of 100,000...made affidavit that Page was the inventor of the Morse telegraph!" PS, TAE has never modified WU contract re weekly $, right?
