New York is a hard place to have a law suit in.
This cheat had been carried on for years, both in this country and in Europe,--using my labels and selling poor articles, and in this way robbing me of my reputation by the basest means.

After this Sperry, who was in company with Shaw, had been dead a short time, a statement was published in the New York papers that this Henry Sperry was a wonderful man, and that he was the first man who went to England with Yankee clocks.

After I had sent over my two men and had got my clocks well introduced, and had them there more than a year, Sperry & Shaw, hearing that we were doing well and selling a good many, thought they would take a trip to Europe, and took along perhaps fifty boxes of clocks.

I have since heard that their conduct was very bad while there, and this is all they did towards introducing clocks.

There is no one who can claim any credit of introducing American clocks into that country excepting myself.
