Dear Sir:- \n
Referring to the attached letter addressed to you by the Secretary of the Edison United Phonograph Company, in which it is stated that they do not think it would be my wish to delay the delivery of the assignments of patents at present resting in your hands in view of the importance of forwarding these promptly to their patent agents. I do not understand why the Edison United Phonograph Company should attempt to throw upon me responsibility for delay growing out of the fact that the Officers of the Company apparently have not sufficient time at their disposal to give attention to its affairs. As I stated to you, in my previous communication, I decline to assume any personal risk in connection with the assignment of these patents.\n
Yours very truly, \n
Thomas A. Edison\n
