New York, October 5, 1892. 2 pp., 4to, on Hornblower, Byrne & Taylor stationary. From Hornblower to Eugene H. Lewis, partner at Eaton & Lewis who represented Edison's companies, regarding a request to borrow case literature from Hornblower's library. Hornblower replies, "Experience has demonstrated, I believe, that no book kept longer than twenty-four hours has ever been returned by any except the most erratic and morbidly conscientious individual." Hornblower goes on to refer to a current Circuit Court of Appeals case regarding Edison "I suppose since the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals in the Edison cases you and Major Eaton are prepared to put in a claim for the earth, the moon and the stars with all the rest of the universe."
