- Editor's Notes
- Your favor of 28th to Mr Edison & of 28th & 29th to myself to hand.##As to the Regulating Resistance [---es] for main line we want to bring the light from 20 candles [around] to invisible or just barely red.##I note your remarks as to the commission on London [are you] going to credit of regular a/c & will have great pleasure in complying with your wishes.##As to your complaints against Hayward Perry & Francklyn I do not think they are justified I know you have an objection to shipping through them but that cannot be helped. Considering how large our Foreign business is now it is essential that our shipping should be conducted through one channel or otherwise the work of my office here would be double. Hayward Perry & Francklyn complain that you would know what you want to ship yourselves, that you expect to be able to get goods on board ship on the day of sailing & that notwithstanding they do all they can to meet your wishes your habit is to tell them that you could do much better yourselves They also state that you asked for a "permit" to ship by a Liverpool Liner after they told you that my instructions to them were to ship to London direct. You must remember that freight cannot be taken on board so late as Express goods & that we ship by the cheapest way in order to save money. The special trouble you complain of in yours of 28th could not be helped. The steamer was full H.P. & F. were unable to get permits for the machine works applied for several days before yours##What I can I understand is that you raise complaints when no one else does although you are but one of about a dozen who ship through H. &. & F for our a/c
