- Editor's Notes
- "Regarding the contract with Mr. Edison and the Company Continentale in Paris, I have not a copy of the contract at hand, but in accordance with the telephone conversatino with you this morning, I am decidedly of the opinion that it does not provide for the payment of Mr. Edison's experimental expenses.####The contract does provide that in case Mr. Edison desires to sell his patents abroad that he should in France offer them to the French Co. at a price to be fixed by arbitration and that in other countries in Europe he should give 15 days notice to allow the French Co. to accept proposals at the same terms that other parties would accept.####This was the carrying out of the spirit and intention of the original contract with Mr. Edison and the time runs with the time that the French Company pay royalty to the Company in New York.####I thank you for the letters enclosed in your letter of Feb. 1st." [name mentions: Thos Edison, Compagnie continentale Edison, F.R. Upton, A.O Tate]
