Dec. 27 1901 Dear Mr. Mallory I trust the enclosed will strike you as O.K. The other day you and Mr. Edison spoke of a new "reproducer" being ready this Xmas my boy broke the one on our machine, and if the new one is ready I would like to buy one. Unless it goes with the new cylinder only. Of course the ore I have can be fixed up. It is a small matter anyhow so don't bother about it. You will note the Elec Vehicle item. Why couldn't Mr. Edison use Mr. Ricker to advantage in adapting the new call to automobiles and autos to the cell? Otherwise possibly when the cell is introduced clumsy handling by inexpert chauffeurs may give it a black eye temporarily. Yours truly T.C. Martin
