Transcription

July 6th, 1892. 
Mr. Louis A. Robert, Sup’t., 
Georgia Phonograph Company, 
Atlanta, Ga. 
Dear Sir: 
Replying to your letter of 29th ultimo addressed to Mr. Edison, I beg to any that I know of no method better adapted for your purpose of charging storage cells from a 500 volt motor driving a low volt generator. If your plant is not adequate, I can only [conduct?] duplicating of enlarging it. We do not employ storage cells for the phonograph ourselves, but invariably use the Edison-Lalande cells, which are found to be much more satisfactory. 
Yours very truly, 
Private Secretary
