- [D8812AAO], Letter from Francis Robbins Upton to Thomas Alva Edison, April 4th, 1888
- Editor's Notes
- I have just received two tickets for offices in the Electric Club. I notice your name down as Vice President in company with Hebard, and as second fiddle to Davis. # I notice the names of Moses, Lynch, Garden, in the Board of Managers. # It strikes me, that your name is simply useful to those who are robbing you of the fruits of your inventions, and you gain neither honor, nor credit from the company you are in. # It is said, that the Edison Company is suing other companies in a 'Pickwickian' manner, and that it is understood there are no patents amounting to anything, and that the Public are free to choose, and buy, where they will. Your presence in such a company lends color to such assertions. BALLOTS FOLLOW TAE marg: "Tate write to Price." New name mention: Henry C. Davis.
