1st December 1892 S. F. Moriarty Esq: London. Dear Sir, Grapho: Patents. Great Britain. On leaving you this afternoon, I went to the offices of Messrs J. H. Johnson & Co: and saw Mr Johnson himself with reference to the Assignment of the British Graphophone patents. He informed me, after reference to his books, that he had assigned all the Britian Grapho: patents taken out in his name to The INTERNATIONAL GRAPHOPHONE COMPANY of New-York, except the last patent he took out, known as No: 8197 of 1890. This patent was taken out in his name as a communication from the EDISON UNITED PHONOGRAPH COMPANY of New-York, and at present stands in his name. With these facts before me I took the liberty of instructing Mr Johnson to prepare such documents as were necessary for the Assignment of this patent from his name to the name of this Company. I trust I have done right in this respect, if not your contrary instructions can be telephone to Mr Johnson to-morrow morning and they will have effect. He promises to send me the documents by Saturday morning in time to catch the next outgoing United States mail, so that no time will be lost. All the other British Graphophone patents, eleven in number, are assigned as above mentioned to the INTERNATIONAL GRAPHOPHONE Co:, but I have no advice that they have been re-assigned to this Co:. This information you doubtless are in possession of. Yours faithfully, Geo Munro
