\nDear Sirs:-
\nI return herewith the power of attorney for Portugal which you sent for my signature with your letter to me of 11th instant. I have had this paper translated and find that it does not purport to be a power of attorney from me, but only from Col. Gouraud, who has executed the same; also that the document is entirely in blank as to its important parts, that is to say, it grants a power to anybody to sell anything at any price. I will not sign a power like this. It must be made specific before it will receive my signature.
\nYours truly,
\n[Thomas A. Edison?]"},{"label":"Author","value":"Edison, Thomas Alva"},{"label":"Recipient","value":"Seligman and Seligman"},{"label":"Mentioned","value":"Gouraud, George Edward"},{"label":"Date","value":"1892-04-25"},{"label":"Type","value":"Letter"},{"label":"Subject","value":["International business operations","Contracts and other legal concerns"]},{"label":"Folder/Volume ID","value":"LB056-F"},{"label":"Microfilm ID","value":"143:203"},{"label":"Document ID","value":"LB056374"},{"label":"URL","value":"https://edisondigital.rutgers.edu/document/LB056374"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Thomas Edison National Historical Park"},{"label":"Publisher","value":"Thomas A.
