[MU025], Letter from Francis Robbins Upton to Elijah Wood Upton, July 27th, 1879

Title: [MU025], Letter from Francis Robbins Upton to Elijah Wood Upton, July 27th, 1879
Editor's Notes: Yesterday Mr. Eidson gave me a certificate for 36 shares in the electric light company made out in my name. The par value of the shares is $100 and the market price very irregular during the winter has varied from $150 to $200. Anyway I think it is a good start for building air castles. The electric light is far from being a failure and I consider my prospects good of $5,000 cash before another year has passed. [rest about waiting Lizzie and wedding]; Supplied year
