Editor's Notes
"I enclose you copy of phonogram, Col. Gouraud's voices, it was recorded while cylinder, resolved 112 per minute. ### We are matching with much anticipation the devices to arrive which by cable we learn you will express on Monday. I trust it is a perfected knife for one improvement, + perhaps different spectacle + even governor though the one here governs to a niceity but makes some noise. ### This motor is a darling, have had not the least trouble with it. ### Already tried the 'Schanschieff Battery', requiring two cell to do the required work. E.M.F. of each 1.39 volts. Seems to prove a very clean and good one. ### Write Payne by this mail in regard to envelope boxes, + mailing phonograms those of [cerasine?] cracked from contraction but the Bees wax ones stand all right + work well. ### Col. Sends you talk twice a week. ### This is fearful climate otherwise everything is lovely.
