Title
[LB004430], Letter from Thomas Alva Edison to Hamilton McKown Twombly, June 26th, 1879
Editor's Notes
I learn that gould is trying to effect an arrangement toward using the Automatic system on the new lines. Can something be done so the Western Union would take all the Automatic patents? I have a large interest in them and of course would like to get paid something for my [?] labor in perfecting it. While the value of these patents for use upon the W.U. lines are at present small owing to ulimited wire capacity the system is of great value to a new company's wire capacity because it gives one wire the capacity of ten without an expenditure of capitcal, hence it can always and [?] probably always be use as a [?] to hurt the W.U. The patents contain the basis of all that is valuable in automatic telegraphy and [?] for years to come.
