- Editor's Notes
- re house hunting; "I had a talk with Mr. Edison today regarding my future. He seems to think favorably of giving me a share in the business instead of wages. The only trouble is that I may have to wait a long time before the profits come yet if they are nearly as large as the telephone profits I may consider myself in great luck. He sold the other week the right to one of eight districts in London for $25,000 and will probably sell the next in the course of a few weeks, as last week he found out how to make his new telephone a complete success. The royalty is to paid in addition to this first payment. I think it would be quite a fine thing if I could come into partnership, if I only had a little mroe capital to live on until returns appear. Do you not think I have done well to be able to talk of ten per cent of the total profits at the end of six months, and to have any proposition considered as it is now?
