Title
[D8704AEC], Letter from J T Lloyd to Thomas Alva Edison, October 29th, 1887
Editor's Notes
Promised to finish the Vanderbilt book last winter when you were about to go to Florida for your health, but didn't get to it; sent you three or four humorous stories about the Vanderbilts last winter, and now send a half-dozen more; hope to send all 300 Vanderbilt stories before Christmas.### "I think it is about time you stopped inventing, if you wish to live to an old age."###Think the story of William H. Vanderbilt as an inventor will amuse you; All papers in the US are copying Vanderbilt in the cat story; have commenced lawsuit against some, including Boston Transcript; it has been copied from our copyrighted circular.###Vanderbilts have enjoined me from publishing the book, "but I think they will be unable to prevent it."
