February 17, 1891. Mr. Thomas Butler, Edison Building, Broad Street, New York City. Dear Sir:- Mr. Randolph tells me that you requested him to pay the Edison Electric Light Co. of Europe, Limited, the amount owed by Mr. Edison to Philip S. Dyer, Agent, Antwerp, the same to be applied in connection with Mr. Dyer’s accounting to the Edison Electric Light Co. of Europe, Limited. I beg to advise you that on the 14th instant, I received from the Edison General Electric Company a payment of $1,274.74, purporting to cover royalty on lamps sold through Mr. Dyer’s agency from December 1, 1889 to December 31, 1890. On what account is this further payment mentioned by you to Mr. Randolph to be made? IT appears to be a duplication of the payment from the Edison General Electric Company. Yours very truly, A. O. Tate Private Secretary.
