Told Hubbard that I thought the provision in the new phonograph company's contract that only bought the "present things" of Tainter Bell & Co., which were not marketable, was "a piece of folly" as it leaves them free to sell what they get afterward to anybody they choose and that I didn't want "to go in on that basis"; he agrees and wants me to tell Prof. Bell the same thing.
