- Editor's Notes
- "Permit me to again trouble you in reference to the meeting of the Michigan Press Association and the exhibition of the phonograph which I shall give at that time. ### I have just had a talk with Mr. Brearly, the President of the Association, and he is extremely anxious to have a phonogram from Mr. Edison - if possible. ### Probably the best known man in newspaper circle, is Mr. Geo. P. Rowell of newspaper advertising fame, and I write to know if it would be convenient to have him visit the Laboratory and prepare a phonogram for this meeting at Grand Rapids. Mr. Brearly assures me that we shall have a prominent place in the meeting, and we are very anxious to make the most it. We have a large funnel, and could, with a cylinder prepared for that purpose, make the machine talk out in meeting. We would be very glad ([–]) to receive any suggestions, as we want to give a first class general exhibition of the phonograph.### I am very much obliges to you for ordering the musical cylinders prepared. They will form a very interesting feature of the exhibition."
