Editor's Notes

Referring to your favor of 26th February (which has remained unanswered first owing to my absence in Florida and second in consequence of my sickness since my return). I think the only thing in Dr Hopkinsons patent which would hold in this country and be of value is the [Br----] described in connection with figures 5, 6 & 7 of patent no. 2989 of [---] and set forth in the third claim of that patent##A Company of mine on Electric Rail Roads is about to be formed and I would advise Dr. Hopkinson to take out a patent on the above referred to patent in this Country with a view to making an arrangement with our Rail Road Coy which can readily be done if they desire to make use of the principle##I return herewith Dr. Hopkinsons papers & also enclose Mr Dyers [illegible]
