Oct. 8, 1892. T. R. Lombard, Esq., Victoria Hotel, Chicago, Ills. My dear Lombard,- I had an interview with Bush the day before yesterday, the result of which was wired you by Butler. Mr. Bush says for us to go ahead now and sell machines with simply the New Jersey restriction on them. He does not consider it necessary that we should notify any of the Companies to commence the sale of machines. His opinion is that we should start in ourselves and ignore the notification part of the business. I do not know that I entirely agree with him, but inasmuch as he told me you would have to be in New York in the course of a week or so to testify in some cases I thought I would postpone a discussion of the point, if such be in any event necessary, until I could talk it over with you present. I presume Mr. Bush has communicated with you in regard to your coming over to New York, and will be glad if you will wire me upon receipt of this when you expect to be in town. Yours truly,
