Title
[LB029428], Letter from Thomas Alva Edison to George Edward Gouraud, May 16th, 1889
Editor's Notes
"I beg to confirm the following cablegrams received from you and sent by me:-- ### NOSIDE, N.Y. May 8, 1889. ### "Must first see commercial machine and price. If both satisfactory large orders; express sample; cable departure; wrote Saturday." ### GOURAUD, NORWOOD. May 16, 1889. ### "Can't give price until three thousand made. However we bill them at forty-five dollars to Company here for first thousand, forty for next, and probably thirty-five for next thousand, subject to final settlement by books. Ultimate price will be lower as we have stopped making changes and are cheapening work. We have up to to-day delivered seven hundred. They are working satisfactorily in hands public; send order for what you want now, whether one a week or one hundred. EDISON."" Yours truly, [signed] TAE
