[D8905AKI], Letter from Enrico Copello to Thomas Alva Edison, December 28th, 1889

Editor's Notes

Florence Dec. 28 89 My Dear Mr Edison Though I have been anxiously lookiong for some communication from you during all these monthgs, as you led me to hope, I am still without any word from you.##I hope you have not quite forgotten the friend who had the honor of taking to you the token of the high appreciation of the King of Italy. I am also happy to have been the means of conveying to you a silver medal which my friend the Mayor of Como--the birthplace of Volta--tendered to you in the name of the city magistrates and which I delivered to the American Minister in Rome, last week, to be forwarded to you.##These facts show simply that I hae done something, and not without good results, toward making your latest invention properly appreciated in this country, and toward laying the foundation for a large business which I hope will soon be entered upon and for which I trust I shall have your moral support and the help of your authority, in closing with the London House.##I should not have considered the year well ended without sending to you and to my lady Edison, my warmest wishes for your joint happiness for the comingtwelve months and many more to folloow, as you both desire.##Hoping to have th pleasure of hearing from you soon, I remain Your Devoted Servant and Friend, E Copello
