Sept. 8, 1891. Col. George E. Courand, Edison Home, Northumberland Avenue, London, W. C., England. Dear Sir:- Your letter of 13th ultimo was received with enclosures. I regret that you and Mr. Hardingham assigned these patents without first getting my consent, and really do not think that you had any right to do so. I note that you retain the rights for dolls etc. in yourselves, and I shall soon send you a form of assignment transferring them to me. Please do not assign or allow to be assigned any other patents or inventions of mine without first getting my written consent. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this letter, so that I may know you received it, and oblige Very truly yours, Thomas A. Edison
