March 15, '94 W. E. De Witt, Esq., 6015 Ellis Ave., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sir:-- I have received your letter of 7th inst., and in reply to the question contained therein relative to the best way to dispose of an invention, I would advise disposing of it on a royalty basis cash to a reputable house, whose credit is quoted “good” by Bradstreet. Even shysters can be caught if they falsify books. Yours very truly, Thomas A. Edison M[aguire].
