St. NY., Dear Sir:- Please note the enclosed reference from Divn.Opr. Fondersmith, relative to the Phonoplex circuit between J.City, and the General Office in Philada.

Fondersmith. Division Operator, Dear Sir:- We use our Phonoplex just as much as possible, but for a long while there has been more or less trouble on it, and at times it goes up entirely, so that we must depend upon #6 wire. Jersey City is aware of this fact. Aug 25th Mr. Logue was here and changed Wedge and Cord on “Phone” stating he would return again to see what Improvement it made, but as yet he has not arrived. Since then it has been working somewhat firmer, although there is still some trouble which interferes with us at intervals. Resp’y Your’s M. J. Laughey [Marginalia] We see note can not Logue put in order or say what the trouble really is 9/8
