It would appear to me that in this case we have attepted a little too much & that our insterest in the future will be the est [???] served by picking out the easiest circuit. I have letters from Mr. Bates on the subject of your report to Mr. Edison which I desire to consult you about. He wants us to use their standard gravity battery & says that a Carbon Battery such as you now use is troublesome & expensive. ## [Anssart?] is meeting with good success on the Atchinson Topeka [???] &c R. R. He has a circuit of 117 miles which will probably be extended to [157?] miles.
