Letterhead: Edison United Phonograph Company 
New York, April 1st, 1892. 
Thomas A. Edison Esq., 
Orange, N.J. 
Dear Sir:- 
Professor R.L. Garner advises us that he has been in consultation with yourself, in regard to devising a certain kind of Phonograph for his scientific experiments in Africa, and as he is anxious to know what the charge will be to him, if any, by this Company, we would be much obliged if you would kindly advise us what the cost would be , or should you not be able to do so in advance of its completion, kindly name a figure which we can rely upon as indicating the maximum charge you would make to this Company for every sort of expense in connection with it. 
Yours very truly, 
Secretary.  
TAAE Marginalia:  
Mr Ott thinks that the  apparatus proposed would be uncertain + there is no assurance that the thing will work satisfactory if it is done. He advises two phonographs.
