Denver, Colorado, March 6, 1901
Discontinuance-Phonoplex Contract.
The Edison Manufacturing Company,
Orange, N.J.
Gentlemen:
January 19th the phonoplex attachment was cut out of service on our wires. For a long time previous to this date we had continual complaints from our local operators and agents that they were unable to adjust their instruments so as to work satisfactorily with the phonoplex connection. In the early part of February a representative of your Company, at the instance of our General Superintendent, called and gave the matter a thorough investigation. The phonoplex was then cut in for the purpose of testing, but the trouble did not cease; our wire work was seriously hampered, and the attachment was again cut out finally.
This letter is to advise that our Company do not wish to continue further the contract of March 6th, 1899. Will you please submit a bill for the use of the phonoplex from January 1st to 19th, inclusive, 1901?
Yours truly,
C.H. Schlacks
General Manager
[Marginalia] <Mr. Randolph wants this letter back as bill has not been sent now 3/23/01>
