Having taken legal advice on the subject of the injury done to my interests as a Patentee ¹ by sundry gentlemen who have taken instructions from you as Arranged, but has not kept to the agreements which they made with You at the time, I have been advised that it is necessary to discontinue the start of the arrangement and grant regular Licenses as is done with respect to other Patentees. You will therefore please to give notice to any person whom you may give instructions in the art that you do so upon the understandable condition that they take licenses to execute the art as upon the terms which are asked of other persons.

[illegible] to the Continental patents my settling definitely at present the terms of such Licenses but they will not exceed twenty guineas or it preferred an annual payment which will be discontinued when the License is no longer wished for
