Letterhead: Memorandum for Major Eaton
Dear Major Eaton: -
Will you please read the attached file of correspondence? As you are aware, the Toy Company is licensed by Mr. Edison, under his patents in foreign countries on the Toy Phonograph movement. Certain annuities ought to be paid and certain patents should be worked. I should like to know if Mr. Edison’s contract with the Toy Company require him to notify them in regard to the payment of these annuities. The Toy Company bore the expense of taking out the original patents. I think that these papers will be sufficient to explain the whole situation. If there is any further information that you require I will be glad to supply it.
I believe that the Toy Company is in default with respect to the payment of minimum royalties, provided for in their agreements with Mr. Edison and that as a matter of fact these foreign rights have reverted to the letter, a privilege he may or may not decide to avail himself of.
Yours Truly,
[Signed: Alfred, Tate]
