Dorchester, Mass.
Dear Sir:--
I beg to acknowledge with this, receipt of your letter of the 17th instant, enclosing clipping from the Boston Herald in which is reproduced my letter to you of January 6th last.
I regret exceedingly the turn these affairs have taken, and I assure you that acting in Mr. Edison’s behalf I did everything in my power to avoid the result which I clearly saw was inevitable unless our proposition or one equally as good was carried out. No other proposition was made than the one submitted by Mr. Edison in the Circular Letter to Stockholders before their adjourned meeting on the 13th of October, 1890. The gentlemen who at that time controlled the Company continued in power with that effect is now apparent.
Yours very truly,
Private Secretary
