- Editor's Notes
- Haven't yet launched my company, as Upton will have told you, but have made important progress since he left; have succeeded beyond expectation with several of the important men in the English financial world; one or two of the directors of the London Telephonic Co. will probably come on my board, as will possibly the chairman of Edison & Swan; hope to secure Sir George Elliott, M.P., "an excellent type of English Croesus", who is connected with all the cable companies.###Though company has been delayed in launching, when it does, it will be a powerful organization.###I want the first phonograph shipped from America; will connect it to a small motor at my house and show it to the scientific world.###Will send Upton plans of my installation at Weybridge, which many electrical people say is the best plant they have seen.###Will arrange with Dyer to push your lamp business as soon as I can get them, "and hope to knock the Swan-Lamp entirely out of the field."
