MEMORANDUM FROM MR. INSULL TO MR. TATE. January 11th 1892. Referring to the enclosed correspondence with relation to supplying musical cylinders, I think that we are going to get into a great deal of trouble with such Companies as the New England Company by the course that we are now pursuing in musical cylinder business. I am speaking both on behalf of the North American Company and on behalf of Mr. Edison. I cannot forget that Mr. Edison, a year or two ago, absolutely refused by letter to everything with relation to the musical cylinder business and throw the thing entirely open. I should like to have from you an exact statement as to the present methods upon which this business is being run as I want to take the matter up with Mr. Edison at an early date. I should also like to know what you have got to say with relation to the New England Company's letter attached hereto. INSULL
