Friend Raff:-
I object to the little book gotten gotten out by Dickson. The part about Dickson being a co-inventor in the Magnetic Separator- Etc, is incorrect, as there is no co-invention in the Ogden business with Dickson or anybody else. I have given Dickson full credit for his labors in my manuscript letter, and I object to begging in outside things in a Kinetoscope book. Mr Dickson will get full credit for what he has done without trying to ram it down peoples throats, I have seen him and he will see you, I am not especially stuck on having my own photograph in the book, It looks too much like conceitedness and self glorification on my part, and the public never takes kindly to a man who is always working his personality forward. Its the thing they want to know about and not the man for whom they donot care a D_____
Yours very truly
Thos A Edison
