Autograph letter dated from Ems, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, hoping that his parents had a pleasant journey. He is expecting Falconer for 'the C & D meeting' [Cleveland and Durham Company]. He saw Hirst of the General Electric who did not think much of the patents the Sunbeam Company are in negotiation for. He said he was making arrangements to commence the manufacture of metallic filament lamps, and evidently it was not much use suggesting joint action by Sunbeam Company and them. Hirst did not connect Merz with the Sunbeam Company.
