Letterhead of the Edison United Phonograph Company New York, December 10th 1892 Stephen F. Moriarty Esq., London, England. My dear Mr. Moriarty:- A doctor M. Wilhelm Meyer Director der Gesellschaft Urania zu Berlin, Kurfurstenstrasse, Berlin W, called yesterday, for the purpose of securing a supply of Musical Records, for the Urania in Berlin, a scientific society, which exhibits to the public, various new inventions and improvements from time to time. Mr. Edison sent to Mr. Helmholtz, and Mr. Siemens of the firm of Siemens & Halske each a Phonograph gratis, shortly after the closing of the Paris Exhibition in 1889, with a large quantity of supplies, as stated above, they now want to secure some musical records, and on my suggesting that they apply to the office in London, Mr. Meyer informed me that he had already done so without success, I therefor explained that it was not possible to furnish them, but would write a letter to our Foreign Committee, and suggesting that when it was possible to do so, that the Urania be supplied with the goods. Yours very truly, G. N. Morison Secretary.
