Title
[LB009484], Letter from Thomas Alva Edison to Ophir Silver Mining Co, W H Patton, December 29th, 1881
Editor's Notes
The trouble as to the transmission of power by electricity is that the demand is so great for machines that our Directors do not feel inclined to send out any machines simply for an experiment at their expense. I talked to one or two of them about the matter and they remark "why does not Mackay buy the experiment ast his own expense as if successful the result would be more profitable to him than to us as far As I am personally concerned I should like to try it very much for the mere science of the thing
