Title
[D8337ZFZ], Letter from Charles Batchelor to Thomas Alva Edison, December 25th, 1883
Editor's Notes
10 pages outlining proposed terms of combination of Edison and Swan interests on Continent. I'm never invited to these meetings and can only reports what Bailey chooses to tell me. Despite Bailey's requests, don't mail power of atty until EVERYTHING is agreed upon. Bailey owes lots money to Porges and can't be relied upon fully (reportedly he spends lots traveling unnecessarily). Porges, et. al. would give ANYTHING to have the control that the european Light co now has. The deal Bailey has arranged would, if the company did well in two years, make its stock worth $25." PS. Insull has read this and will dispatch it from London. "After working nearly 3 years and not receving enough to board me you will not wonder that I would sooner come over there when the propect of working two or three years more to make my stock worth $25 stares me in the face."
