Letterhead: Eaton & Lewis 
Law Offices 
44 Broad Street (Edison Building) 
New York May 24, 1892. 
Dear Edison: 
I am surprised and pained to get your letter asking my office to turn the Toy Co. suits over to another lawyer. Do you think we have no pushed the matter of the bond? In not pushing it we carried out instructions. Do you think we are too busy to attend to the suit? We are not too busy, and have never been too busy to give your affairs our best and prompt attention. Moreover, the recent changes at 44 Broad St. give us too much leisure.  
We shall regret to go out of this litigation but of course shall do in this and in all things what you wish. 
Awaiting your reply, 
Sincerely Yours,  
[Signed: S.B Eaton]
