They did not send the doll because they were not satisfied with the model. What I fear now is that the doll business has loomed into such proportions that they will gin Crawford and I the [illeg]. To prevent this I think if Mr. Edison would send Briggs or Jacques a note to the effect that he would be glad if they would, if possible, give me a chance to place England France and Germany (I understand they intend to embrace those countries in one territory) upon equal terms with any body else I feel sure I would get the option…
