To E. H. Johnson,
Hotel Cecil,
London, England.
May 25, 1899.
My dear Johnson,
Find yours of the 5th on my return from the South, [we?] have just cabled you “Placed stock disposal Morgan month ago - Gourand nothing to do with it.”
Some weeks ago I had a letter from J.P. Morgan and Company relative to my stock, and went and saw J.P. and told him what I would do and placed my stock at his disposal, and have not heard anything further from him.
I have had nothing whatever to do with Gourand, directly or indirectly, for several years and any representations he makes to the contrary are incorrect. I have my own opinion as to his mental condition.
Hope something will come out of the negotiations.
I am well, busy, consequently happy, and willing to be very prosperous.
Yours very truly,
Thos A. Edison
