- Editor's Notes
- [Enclosure to D8959AEM] "I shall be obliged if you will give me at the earliest possible moment the price of phonograms at the works, which I can rely upon as being the absolute maximum price. If you are not able to give me this information without communicating to Mr. Edison, please do so by wire as I am expecting to have to fix the price for a large order early in the week. ### I note what you say with regard to delivering ‘00 machines immediately, and 25 weekly thereafter’, and I have also noted your verbal statement that by immediately you mean that they can be shipped next week. ### Your saying ‘100 immediately and 25 weekly thereafter’ suggest to me that possibly you have not put upon my order the same construction that I do myself. By ‘100 immediately and 25 per week thereafter’ I did not mean for example 100 next week and 25 all the following weeks; I meant simply 25 per week, the first 100 to be shipped as soon as may be. To make this perfectly clear, if 100 machines are shipped next week, I shall not require the next 25 until after the expiration of 4 weeks. ### I am cabling to-day regarding the shipment of 50 machines, and writing instructions regarding the shipment of the second 50 as there are particulars which I could not sufficiently give by cable."
