Title: [D8123ZDY], Letter from Francis Robbins Upton to Thomas Alva Edison, September 25th, 1881
Editor's Notes: Money issue becoming more important. Bit of detail about need to pay vendors' bills and bad coal shipments. Turning out 900-1000 lamps a day at running expenses of $1700-1800 a week. Need to reduce this, but layoffs or 2-week shutdown out of the question.
