- [D8327Q], Letter from Sherburne Blake Eaton to Thomas Alva Edison, February 23rd, 1883
- Editor's Notes
- Spent Wednesday in Boston with Higginson, who says cannot bring out our company b/c US Co. won't let him. Some success in raising capital there. Endicott will subscribe $25K but not in his own name. "He says that whenever he puts his name to a company, widows and orphans follow his lead, and he does not think that a new business like that of electric lighting is to be recommended to people of small means, who require immediate and uninterrupted dividends." Concludes that the "outlook is good" for securing investors in Boston.
