Gentlemen:- Referring to your favor of April 8th, we beg to state that there are four records in the deaf cre set; wholesale price $2.50 each. We are very much impressed by the strength of the movement in this territory.

A few days since, a prominent resident of this city, who has been using a Phonograph for home treatment for more than a month past, announced positive and marked improvement in his condition, and purchased the Phonograph. Physicians have been giving the subject attention for more than six months; and in every case increasing interest. The cylinder used are records of unusual sounds Yours truly, Columbia Phonograph Company, By. F. DORIAN April 11th, 1892 Thomas A. Edison, Esq., Orange, N.J.
