Nov. 12, 1891. S. B. Eaton, Esq., Edison Building, Broad Street, New York City. Dear Sir:- With reference to the attached letter from Messrs. Dyer & Seely, which accompanied your favor of 9th instant, Mr. Edison would like to see drawings of the inventions covered by the patents referred to before deciding to pay the taxes thereon. Mr. Edison says that this whole subject of foreign patents should certainly be discussed, as he can not go on for ever paying for patents and never getting anything back. Yours truly, A. O. Tate Private Secretary.
