- [D8503ZCX], Letter from William Kennedy Laurie Dickson to Thomas Alva Edison, September 28th, 1885
- Editor's Notes
- Had hoped to lay the whole matter of the insulator in front of TAE personally, but TAE's "sudden departure" necessitated this letter. Outlines an experiment concerning an insulator, particularly testing its use underwater. Gives the specifics of the test and the results. Parties are doing everything in their power to sell the U.S. patents or form a company, hoping TAE will make them an offer for the patents; "I should rather you have it than anyone." Also mentions Cyrus Field as an expert who tested a sample after it had been placed in a salt marsh for a year and a half. Shorthand marg.
