[D8320J], Letter from Edward Hibberd Johnson to Thomas Alva Edison, May 18th, 1883
Editor's Notes
"This is Sprague-- He would probably tell you that much--but he wouldn't tell you that the pay of an Ensign in the U.S. Navy isn't sufficient to keep a man in Idleness long on shore.-- " He's trying Hopkinson dynamo for Johnson. "That he is Dead Broke and as I am too, I had to borrow 25L from Bailey to get him afloat-- You will therefore know that his Pocket is empty when he comes to you--" Sprague will brief you and explain why I haven't written much to you lately; I've been vy busy. "All the Big Questions of Patent Fight-- Reorganization into a Public Co-- Amalgamation with Swan- etc etc are to come up Immediately our New Board is in office--" Says Board of Trade will give a provisional order for a district of about a square mile. Would Clarke come over to engineer it? "Your new Lamp is a failure to date You owe me 100$--" xxx recommend select; Sprague is important dh 4feb03 xxx
