March 16,1891. Major S.B. Eaton, #120 Broadway, New York City. Dear Sir:- Mr. Edison has read your letter of 14th instant, in which you report a long talk between yourself and Mr. [Bush?] re E.P Works Claim v. N.A.P.Co., and he has made the following note upon the same: “MAJOR: I simply wrote the memo to see how it would strike Lippincott: I did not sign it. Suppose I had written six different propositions to see which he would have accepted, according to this I would be bound by all. It’s a nice state of affairs if a [illegible text] is hound on an unsigned memorandum. Yours very truly, (Signed A.O. Tate) Private Secretary.
