- Editor's Notes
- "I have just been writing to Mr Edison asking him to let me have the first of his Phonographs that come to England. You know I have a wonderfully neat installation at Weybridge. Upton was very much taken up with it, and I should connect the Phonograph, up to a small motor (?) in my organ room, & should get nearly all the scientific world down to look at it. It not only would be a very good thing for me, but I should be able to pile the new Edison lamp into them heavily. This lamp, I intend to push as much as I can, and try and knock the Swan lamp out. ## Since Upton left, I have been making great strides with my Company, interesting men of high financial standing, & I have been very successful in this, so that although the matter may be delayed longer than I originally thought for, when it does come out, it will be a very strong Corporation indeed. ## Please do not forget about the Phonograph, as I am very desirous of having one, as soon as they are ready. ## Give my very kindest regards to Mrs Johnson and all you family, more particularly, the future President"
