Don’t forget to patent the game.
Charley, the seasons are all dull with Slote & Co of late years. From a profit of $12,000 in 6 mos, (1878) on the scrap-book, it has now dwindled to $800 for the same half-year. Won’t Koch & Co buy the Slote two-third interest? They ought to get it for next to nothing; then I would buy my one-third interest.
As to the statuette, you know it is to go to the Art Exhibition I told you of, in 23d st. That’s all I know. 6 E 23d st., Madison Square South. It opens September 1.
