Thomas Maguire, Esq., 
Edison Laboratory,  
Orange, N.J. 
Dear Sir:- 
I hand you herewith copy of a letter from Major Eaton under date of the 2nd instant in regard to Mr. Edison’s Electric Railway patents in Australia. Please attach this letter to the Indian and Colonial or Australasian Agreements which are in our safes at the Laboratory. 
Yours truly, 
A.O. Tate
Private Secretary.
P.S. Please show this communication to Mr. Randolph and call his attention to paragraph four in which Major Eaton states that Drexel, Morgan and Company have never paid any of Mr. Edison's expenses connected with experiments of patents for these inventions for Australia; ask Randolph if he has any accounts on his books referring specifically to electric railways in connection with Australia.
