Title
[MU008], Letter from Francis Robbins Upton to Elijah Wood Upton, March 2nd, 1879
Editor's Notes
re proposed date of his marriage; "I feel that I will be able to take care of myself, trusting to the future. I find my work very pleasant here and not much different from the times when I was a student. the strangest thing to me is the $12 that I get each Saturday, for my labor does not feel like work but like study and I enjoy it. The electric light I thing will come in time and then be a success, how long that time will be is quite a question. I think it will be successful eventually, and then my place will be secure. I learn much every week and soon, that is in a year or two think I will be an expert on electrical questions. My pay I know is very small in dollars but the chance to get knowledge is beyond measure. I hope to earn some money indirectly by writing,k and also make my name a little better known."
