[D8144ZAW], Letter from John Michels to Samuel Insull, November 2nd, 1881

Title: [D8144ZAW], Letter from John Michels to Samuel Insull, November 2nd, 1881
Editor's Notes: {Enclosure to D8144ZAV] Got yours and TAE's enclosed with it. Putting "Science" on paying basis in two months depends on getting enough support now from TAE. This is good time of year for it. Will send 50,000 complementary copies to public libraries. Refers to enclosed testamonial letters (not found). Biggest problem has been lack of adequate capital. Had expected to make journal pay in 1 year but this supposed $25,000 working capital; please remind TAE that he didn't have to do it all himself, he declined to partner with Shonnard.
