June 3rd, 1892.
Thomas A. Edison, Esq.,
Orange, N.J.
Dear Sir:-
We hand you herewith, a copy of letter received from E.D. Easton of Washington, D.C. The original is evidently a circular, as it is not addressed to any particular person, and has been turned out upon the Mimeograph. We therefore presume that similar copies have been sent to all of Phonograph Companies and have communicated with some of them for information; meanwhile we should be pleased to receive any instructions in the matter, which you may see fit to issue.
Yours very truly,
[Signed]
TREASURER. Letterhead Columbia Phonograph Company
June 1st. 1892.
Gentlemen:-
Your attention is respectfully called to the fact that on May 24th. 1892, Letters Patent 475,490 were issued to the undersigned, assignor of Leon F. Douglass, for the “Method of and means for Duplicating or Transferring Phonograph Records.” that this is a broad patent covering the art: and that the manufacture, sale or use of Duplicated or Transferred Phonograph Records in violation of the rights conferred by this patent will render you liable in damages to the undersigned from the date of said patent.
Yours truly,
(Signed) E. D. Easton
