- Editor's Notes
- [Hotel Victoria---London?] "In regard to Gouaud's shipments and the arrangement of a credit, I am pressing him as much as I can but the trouble is he hasn't got his momey for the first sales yet and a hydraulic press couldn't squeeze a dollar out of him until he does. ## He says now he will want 100 shipped Wednesday and he knows he has to pay for them in New York which he has already agreed to do. ## With regard to your telegram asking that you should not be instructed to ship until Gouraud' had arranged today credit, we couldn't insist on that because it would be unreasonable to ask him to keep some $50,000 on deposit for a period covering eight months and, at the time, he would have used such a demand as an excuse to get out of the order entirely. ## I expect that Mr Edison will be in England about Friday or Saturday of next week. He is with Dr. Siemens now. I wait here for him. ## In shipping machines to Gouraud be careful to send those alone which have all the latest improvements. I'll post you on all that transpires here."
