[LB022180], Letter from Thomas Alva Edison to Edward Hibberd Johnson, June 11th, 1886
Editor's Notes
I return you your memoranda of 7th with reference to Lamps & indicators. ## I desire it to be distinctly understood that there is no attempt on the part of the Lamp Co to keep your Company in the dark. It is curious that reports adverse to our lamps come from Cincinnati whereas from Chicago we get just the opposite opinion. However I am going to assume that the adverse reports are the accurate one & this morning I start in at East Newark today & correct the trouble. You are yourself sufficiently acquainted with lamp manufacture to know that a gradual deterioration may take place without any one knowing exactly the "why or wherefore". This has occured before & may be the case on this occasion. Anyway I am going myself to look through the [???] processes at East Newark & if I can make any improvement I shall most certainly do it. ## With relation to Indicators I heard yesterday that John Howell denies the correctness of [Hammius?] conclusions. This shall be looked into today & you shall be advised about it by tomorrow or Monday. If ther Lamp Cos Indicators are defective I think they should [???] them Yours truly Signed by Insull
