[D7937ZCJ], Letter from J H H Willcox to Thomas Alva Edison, September 9th, 1879

Title: [D7937ZCJ], Letter from J H H Willcox to Thomas Alva Edison, September 9th, 1879
Editor's Notes: Interested in telephonic transmission of symphonic music. Believes sound of single instrument can be sent successfully, but how about sounds of 50 or more? What about singing? Marg: "Any number of instruments can be played and each will be heard through the telephone. I know of no difficulty at present if the chemical telephone is employed."
