Dear Sir:-
With reference to the attacked correspondence, [illegible text] U. S. Patent No. 213,598, for improvement in machines for separating magnetic substance from grain, I brought the same before Mr. Edison as you desired. He was very much annoyed that the matter had been referred to Major Eaton without his being first consulted and expressed himself very vigorously on the subject. He requested me to prepare a letter for his signature, instructing Major Eaton to take no further action in the matter. This I did and the letter goes forward by to-night’s mail.
When I brought Reed’s letter before Mr. Edison I was particular to tell hi, that a copy of it and of the patent involved had been sent to Major Eaton, and he said nothing at that time.
Yours truly,
Thomas Maguire
P. S. The copy of the patent which [illegible text] to the correspondence [illegible text] herewith [illegible text] this office have therefore [illegible text] to keep Edison’s [illegible text] complete.
