Dear Sir:-
I have received your letter 19th instant, and in reply beg to say that when Mr. Gladstone goes to London, he will bear a letter from Mr. Edison that, I think, will be entirely satisfactory. You can say to your friends that we intend to take this matter up earnestly and that Mr. Gladstone will be thoroughly equipped to make full arrangements with them.
I cabled you yesterday in regard to the Electrical Exposition at the Crystal Palace, asking if any awards were offered for primary batteries. If we could obtain a diploma or a medal, (and I am quite sure we can, if either one is offered), it will add greatly to the prestige of our battery, not only in Great Britain, but also this country. I am expecting to hear from you today.
Mr. Gladstone has forwarded to London, a full set of Edison Lalande batteries and medical appliances, so that he will be all ready to enter the lists immediately upon his arrival. I will cable you as soon as it is definitely arranged when he will start. I think he will sail within ten days or two weeks.
Yours very truly,
A.O. Tate
