Dec. 10, 89 Messrs, Dyer & Seely New York City With reference to your letter of 9th instant, in regard to the invention of Mr. Kennelly consisting in heating the plates or the solution or both for an electric light meter, Mr. Edison desires you to take out this patent. Mr. Kennelly assigns it to Mr. Edison individually. The former says that the amalgamation of the metere plates while they are still hot, is a matter of no importance, and it will not be necessary to apply for an additional patent to cover it. Yours truly, AO Tate Private Secretary
