To Charles L. Webster
22 December 1884 • Hartford, Conn. (MS, in pencil: NPV, UCCL 03066)
Dear Charley—

Call at Everett House 10 o’clock next Sunday morning.

1. Talk about contract with that bed clothes fastener man.

2. Osgood has made me no statement for at least a year. Needs stirring up.

3. You mind, that you may appoint as many dates to issue as you please, but you will not issue till 40,000 are known to be sold. For this is my last experiment—& it shall not fail.

4. Western Union.

5. Am. Exc. in Europe

6. P. & P. belongs to me but is not taken into camp & canvassed.

bottom one-third of the page left blank; letter resumes on a new page:

I have notified the Am. Pub. Co that unless they sue to enjoin those pirates at once, I will sue for annulment of my contracts, on the ground that they make no sufficient effort to protect my copyrights from infringement.

Watch the files of the advertising-agencies, & see if the ad. disappears.
