Richard N. Dyer, Esq.,
Messrs. Dyer & Seely,
36 Wall Street, New York.
My Dear Sir:-
Mr. Edison has requested me to refer the attached letters from Mr. Giles Otis Pearce, regarding his (Mr. Edison’s) patent #466,460, entitled “Art of Electrolytic Decomposition”. You will doubtless remember the patent, which was granted January 5th, 1892, and can obtain a copy readily. Mr. Edison would like to know whether there is anything in that Mr. Pearce states as to manufacturers of aluminum infringing his patent. If there is anything in it, and any money can be obtained, Mr. Edison is willing that you, himself and myself should divide whatever can be made out of it. I do not know whether there is anything in it or not, but send the papers to you, and shall be glad if you will look into the matter at your leisure, and then let us hear from you. Kindly return these letters with any comments you may have to make. We have not answered Mr. Pearce’s last letter as Mr. Edison did not wish to commit himself until he had looked into the question somewhat.
Yours very truly,
W E Gilmore
