March 24th, 1890 J.H. Block, Esq., Moscow, Russia. Dear Sir:- I have received your letter of February, acknowledging the receipt of my cablegram, in which I notified you of the departure from New York of the Phonograph to the CZAR. I note, with pleasure, your effects in connection with the Phonograph, and the interest which the people in Russia are taking in my invention. The Phonograms mentioned in your letter, have not yet reached the Laboratory, but they will doubtless come to hand in due course, and will be received with much pleasure. Yours very truly, Thos A. Edison P.S. I did not receive the cablegram which you refer to as having been sent by the President of the Technical Society (Imperial) in Moscow, asking me to accept honorary membership in said Society.
