- Editor's Notes
- "In answer to your favor of the 30th ult. On the subject of assessment for laboratory experiments to be conducted in our interest, on looking into the matter I beg to say, that I find the greatest part of our own experimental expenses is for improvement on our electric light apparatus and that it amounts to quite a large sum; and I think that $150.00 per week in addition to this will be too heavy a tax on us. I therefore beg, as a compromise to offer to pay $400.00 per month, that is about $100.00 per week, for which you will give us credit as outlined in your letter and should we find after a while that it is not enough, and by which time we will be able to judge better of results, we can then allow another $50.00 a week or more if necessary. Instead of sending you the money every week I propose also to sent it once a month which will be less bother. ### I will be obliged to have you reply personally letting me know if this is not satisfactory." Yours truly S. Bergmann [Marginalia: "Ans Feb 1888"]
