[D8833ABE], Letter from Edison Lamp Co, Francis Robbins Upton to Thomas Alva Edison, April 18th, 1888

Editor's Notes

"We herewith enclose you letter from Mr. Deshler regarding his salary. He is at present getting $15 per week, and desires us to increase it to $20. We would like to have your opinion in the matter. Kindly return letter." TAE marginalia: "The position Labor etc of Mr. Deshler is not worth any more than he is getting. He can readily see himself that the position will not warrant a greater salary. Had he any ambition he would assist in experimenting and initiate things himself and not always be told to do this and that. If he would make himself more useful which he can easily do I would be agreeable but not now. You can show him this. Edison" Ans Apl 19/88"]
