\nMy dear Mr. Edison,-
\nI enclose herewith a letter from Mr. Gladstone in regard to the English agency. I do not care to accept this proposition, inasmuch as the young man in question has no standing in London, and I would rather do no business at all than to have partial or incompetent representation. I think you will agree with me as to this.
\nI believe you met Mr. Hirst, who represents The General Electric Company of London. This concern is not connected in any way with the General Electric Co., of America. Mr. P. S. Dyer informs me that Hirst's Company transact the largest supply business in London, and they are expanding very rapidly. They desire to represent the Edison Manufacturing Co., and I want to make them a proposition. So far as batteries and motors are concerned, I can do this now, but I wish to obtain your advice in regard to Kennelly devices. We ought to pay Kennelly a royalty on these. How much do you think it should be? We will net not less than $30 each on ampere meters, volt meters, and there will be a large margin of profit in the volt indicators for high pressures.
\nYours very truly,"},{"label":"Author","value":"Tate, Alfred Ord"},{"label":"Recipient","value":"Edison, Thomas Alva"},{"label":"Mentioned","value":["Edison Manufacturing Co","Kennelly, Arthur Edwin"]},{"label":"Date","value":"1893-05-31"},{"label":"Type","value":"Letter"},{"label":"Subject","value":["Sales and service","Patent assignments, licenses, and royalties","Sockets, fuses, meters, and other interior elements"]},{"label":"Folder/Volume ID","value":"LB057-F"},{"label":"Microfilm ID","value":"143:354"},{"label":"Document ID","value":"LB057429"},{"label":"URL","value":"https://edisondigital.rutgers.edu/document/LB057429"},{"label":"Rights","value":"Thomas Edison National Historical Park"},{"label":"Publisher","value":"Thomas A.
