Mr. F. W. Tunnell,
15 North Fifth Street,
Philadelphia.
My Dear Brother:-
With joy unbounded last night we opened the phonograph. It is a superb instrument. I cannot thank the kind friends sufficiently. The four dozen records are selected. BUT ALAS! THERE ARE NO BLANK RECORDS. We asked the San Francisco agent particularly as to this, but he said the package was just as Mr. Edison had ordered sent, and so we supposed that the blank records were included. Of course they are are the great feature of the whole affair. So will you not kindly have the San Francisco agent instructed to send the four dozen blanks to me at Nagasaki by the next steamer care Methodist Mission? Please wire the order and send bill to me.
We are due at Honolulu Tuesday morning next, and so far are well. This is a brand new ship and a very excellent one.
With love to your family
Sincerely and gratefully,
David H. Moore
