Letterhead of Edison United Phonograph Company My Dear Mr. Moriarty, I enclose you copy of a letter I wrote Mr. Edison on Saturday and hope it will result in our getting our assignments of patents, I am afraid though that it has gone into Mr. Tate’s hands and perhaps from him to Mr. Eaton without Mr. Edison having seen it. Mr. Eaton charged us $40.00 for services [to Feb 1/92?] in connection with the 42 assignments for Australia which were forwarded to the Committee, and I think I am correct in assuming that our present trouble is traceable [illegible] not paying this bill which Mr. Eugene advises and no to do we take the ground that we should not pay Mr. Edison attorney. We are writing to pay the expenses [illegible] which you agreed but promises no more. The assignment are in no great hurry I believe & we may adjust the matter in the course of a week, so do not worry about it. I am sending a postal card from [illegible] Nottingham North England addressed to the North Am Co 10 Wall St, to the [illegible]. He has written a number of times and says the company in London is like the [“dogin the manger”?] they won’t supply machines or permit anyone else. Notwithstanding he is trying hard to get prices and catalogues from America. His postal has a stamp on it. Paragon Restaurant. Your brother came in yesterday and looks well, & we were deploring the fact that you could not have started that business you spoke of several times while the Company was dull, but as it is you have has your hands full. Mr. Henry Seligman received a letter this morning from Mr. Theodore S. and we are executing a different form of notes for the $10000 loan, a copy of the one for your account I enclose. I think Mr. Tate is somewhat elated at his increased response [-----] since Mr. Insull retired, I hear his remarks & conversation are all in the first person, perhaps it is natural to a certain extent. Your Sincere Friend [Signed] G.N. Morison
