New York, October 7, 1892 Received Oct 8 1892 Ans’d Oct 8th 1892 Thomas A. Edison Esq., Orange, N.J. Dear Mr. Edison:- I want to send you my personal congratulations on the justification you have received at the hands of our highest courts, whose judgement has been forestalled by that of every honest man’s in the country for years before the decision was given, but it must be a source of extreme pride and gratification to yourself to have your work recognized by the courts even after long years of waiting, and I can assure you that the entire confidence in your ultimate triumph has been held by every Edison investor that I know of and their name is legion, and as one of the letter and representing very many of them I can assure you that the name of Edison guarantees to us the very best to be had, and to that nothing can be added, so that you can be safe in the knowledge that you are still, as you have always been, the first in the race, and the position taken by you thirteen years ago remains as good to-day, with nothing to take back. Again accept my heartiest congratulations and assurances that the people are with you and I have heard very many people outside of Edison influences announce their gratification at the result as a triumph of hard work and genius over piracy and spoliation Sincerely yours, J.B. Skehan
