"I want to get out a descriptive pamphlet; I mean to have it first class, and want the pamphlet to give a short history of the Phonograph. I am going to arrange with Geo. Parsons Lathrop to write this up and I want to furnish him all the data possible. Cannot you help me to it, or tell me where I can find it. I will of course submit the proofs of this pamphlet to you before having them printed." Marginalia by TAE: "We should have cut of phono & cuts of every detail with name & number -- Serving modern style best cuts that can be made"
