It would appear by the London solicitor’s note of Oct 20 to Slote, that the English patent, No. 5170, stands entirely in Slote’s name, as proprietor. It would appear by Slote’s note of Oct. 31st, that he has sworn to the necessary papers transferring that patent to me.

If you go, now, to the British Consul, & find that Dan did make an unreserved transfer, & coupled nobody else’s name with his as proprietor, I judge my ownership is legally good notwithstanding Mr. Goff’s objections. It can’t be my business to prove whether Slote’s proprietorship was a fraud & a delusion or not. That is Mr. Goff’s business. Ask Mr. Whitford; & if he says my case is strong & that I do own the English patent, then you must proceed at once to pay that £55—& you must also decline to receive any assistance from Mr. Goff in preserving the patent. Better attend to this, right away. I believe Kaolatype would be pretty valuable in London, either with or without brass. As soon as you fix this matter tight, I shall write my London publisher to send somebody over here to look at Kaolatype, in case you are not in treaty with the Colorado man for England.

I enclose $500. I leave for Canada Nov. 25, & shall be back about Dec. 7. If you should need more money meantime, write your aunt Livy. She will send it.

paragraph circled: Rush that brass & copper! Don’t let a moment be lost. Keep it booming every night, till you get a result.

Thanks for the “Clifton” information. I shall write the Chief of Police.
