June 6, 1892. Thomas A. Edison, Esq., Dear Sir: Re A.P.EX. Co. Mr. Gottschalk called today and said that in view of your refusal to see him to discuss the matters of this Company, he might now take steps to protect his own interests. I told him that my firm would not in any way countenance any proceedings to thwart your wishes. He then stated that if he decided to take action it would be entirely through outside Counsel of his own selection, as he recognized the fact that the first duty and loyalty of my firm was to you. I mention the above to you in order that you may know what is going on. Very truly yours, S.B. Eaton
