Title
[D8818AMN], Letter from Thomas Alva Edison to George Edward Gouraud, June 12th, 1888
Editor's Notes
[seems to be draft of recorded message that is transcribed under date 16 June in Dickson biography] This is my first mailing phonogram. It will go to you in regular United States mail from NY, via Southhampton, North German Lloyd steamer 'Aller.' I send you by Hamilton a new Phonograph--the first one of the new model that has left my hands. It has been put together hurriedly and is not finished. I sent you a quantity of experimental Phonograph blanks, so you can talk back to me. Will send you phonograms of talk and music by every mail leaving here until we get on to the best thing for the purpose. # Mrs. Edison and the baby are doing well. The baby's articulation is quite loud enough, but a trifle indistinct. It can be improved, but is not bad for a first experiment.
