Letterhead of J. & W. Seligman & Co. Bankers 
New York Dec. 1, 1892.  
My dear Mr. Edison: 
I have just received a cable that a signed contract for the sale of the English “rights” has been mailed to us, and we will soon have to take action as a Board upon the question of ratifying it.  In order that this action may not be hampered and that the field may be perfectly clear for the Board to act, it is imperatively necessary that we should come to some definite agreement about the matters already discussed between us. I beg of you, for the purpose of facilitating the whole business, to meet me at my office on Monday, at any hour that is convenient to you. Please telegraph me when I may expect you.  
Yours, respectfully, 
Jesse Seligman 
To Mr. Thomas A. Edison,  
Orange, N. J.
