Oct. 31, 1892. A. O Tate, Esq., c/o The Chicago Central Phonograph Co., Chicago, Illinois. Dear Mr. Tate,- With reference to your telephonic message of to-day concerning Chicago Central Phonograph Co., as I telephoned you Mr. Edison said in reply that he would order Reiff to pay the money upon your depositing 801 shares of the stock. I enclose herewith copy of a letter to which I obtained Mr. Edison’s signature and which I will deliver to Mr. Reiff at Woerishoffer & Co’s to-morrow morning before coming to the Laboratory. I also enclose copy of your message as it reached me over the telephone and as it was submitted to Mr. Edison, with copy of the latter’s notation. Should you find it necessary to again communicate with Mr. Edison while you are in Chicago he would prefer that you use the telegraph instead of the telephone: the rates charged for the latter he considers much too expensive; he instructed me to telegraph his reply to your message, but afterwards he relented and said I could telephone it. I refer to the matter at his request. All the letters which you dictated on the train have been written and sent off. Yours truly,
