- Editor's Notes
- Have money to pay note, but please extend it 2 months. Co in bad shape and want to keep enough money to come home. Sorry biz is bad; think your telephone is best in existence. "This Co pays about three prices for everything and it would take the Bank of England to keep it going....We have hardly two hundred subscribers the Bell has eight hundred. We have five exchanges three within a radius of half a mile. While the Bell has only two, one in the City and one in the West End." Wish you could run things here a month. Have been busy with chalks, also repairing broken instruments.
