New York City.
Dear Major Eaton:--
I hand you herewith, original letter from the Company Continental Edison addressed to the Edison Electric Light Company of Europe, Limited, and containing advices of the intention of the former Company to cease payment of annuities of certain French, Austrian, Spanish and Belgian patents. It is our custom to bring to Mr. Edison’s attention the United States Patents which correspond with foreign patents that are about to be abandoned, and if you will be kind enough to advise me of the numbers of the United States patents affected as before, I will have the matter placed before Mr. Edison and ascertain his wishes. His decision should be framed by you as the legal representative of the Edison General Electric Company in case he decides to permit any of these foreign patents to be abandoned. I have not yet acknowledged the letter of the Company Continental Edison attached, and will not do so until I have your and Mr. Edison’s decision.
Yours truly,
A.O. Tate
