- Editor's Notes
- "I beg to confirm the following telegram received from you this morning:- ### 'Edison sent your stuff to-day. We send Patent papers Saturday. ### Do not exhibit apparatus until papers filed. Venerve.' ### I duly note the above, but having experienced considerable difficulty in previous CASES in getting the Patent authorities in various countries to accept my signature as Mr. Edison's Attorney, I have considered it advisable to prepare a series of Powers of Attorney-which I have found to be suitable-and obtain Mr. Edison's signature to them, there-by obviating any question arising with the Patent authorities. ### I am therefore sending you by separate packet 24 blank Powers of Attorney and shall thank you to get Mr. Edison to sign all of them as marked in pencil before a Notary Public. You will observe that some of the Powers require no legalization, the inventors signature being considred sufficient. I have carefully marked in pencil all those requiring the Notary's signature, and such Notary's signature should be authenticated by the Consul for the country the Power is intended to be used. ### You will greatly oblige me by attending to this matter with the greatest possible prompitude as I am extremely anxious that no time be lost in filing this CASE. By the time they reach me I hope to have the necessary drawings, and Specifications complete for at once forwarding them to the respective Agents. ### If you should find any difficulty in obtaining some of the Consuls signatures promptly, pray do not keep back the completed Powers on that account. I should like if possible to have the Powers for the principal European countries first, and the others can follow." Yours faithfully, G.E. Gouraud [Also includes a list of 'undermentioned countries']
