Transcription

Dec,. 24, 1891.
Mr. R. L. Garner,
Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:-
Mr. Edison has read your letter of 21st instant, in regard to a special phonograph which you wish made for recording the sounds of the monkey, and in reply he has instructed me to say that he will be very pleased to have you come out to the Laboratory when you next visit New York. He will place at your disposal for a day, an expert, who can learn from you just what you desire in the way of a phonograph, and who will assist you in any experiments which you may desire to make in order to determine the type of instrument that would be most suitable for your purpose.
Yours truly,
A. O. Tate
Private Secretary.
